A mystery writer's latest whodunit isn't fiction-but rather a true crime from her own past. And if memory serves Poirot, murder-like history-repeats itself... Elephants Can Remember is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie, featuring her Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the recurring character Ariadne Oliver. This was the last of Christie's novels to feature either of these characters, although in terms of publication it was succeeded by Curtain: Poirot's Last Case, which had been written in the late 1930s. The novel is notable for its concentration on memory and oral testimony. At a literary luncheon, the celebrated author Ariadne Oliver is asked a blunt question by a complete stranger: Mrs. Burton-Cox. Mrs. Burton-Cox's son is considering marriage to one of Mrs. Oliver's god-daughters, Celia Ravenscroft. The question is: did Celia's mother murder her father, or was it the other way around? Disturbed but curious, Mrs. Oliver enlists Poirot's help as she attempts to discover the truth about two deaths that had occurred many years earlier. Will combine shipping on more than one book. .
