Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

The show turns serious, without Hastings, Japp or Miss Lemon. In Five Little Pigs, Poirot reopens a 14-year-old case: Caroline Crale was hanged for poisoning her husband, but the killer was his mistress, Elsa. In Sad Cypress, Elinor Carlisle stands trial for her rival's death, and Poirot proves Nurse Hopkins set it all up. In Death on the Nile, Linnet Doyle is murdered on a cruise, and her husband Simon and his ex-fiancée Jackie were in it together. In The Hollow, a doctor is shot beside a pool at a country house, and the killer is his wife, Gerda.
