In this novel, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver teams up with Hercule Poirot to solve a tantalizing puzzle from her past. Available in unabridged audio in the U.S. retail market for the first time. Who killed whom? asks mystery writer Ariadne Oliver. Only this time the whodunit isn't fiction, but a true crime from her own past: an apparent case of double suicide that claimed the lives of two friends twelve years earlier. Searching for the answers with the aid of Hercule Poirot, the most startling discovery is yet to come. And if memory serves Poirot, crime - like history - has a tendency to repeat itself...

Elephants Can Remember begins very slowly. It seems to drag along until about halfway through. While the description of Mrs. Ariadne Oliver, a writer, is interesting, it seems that it is the focal point of the story instead of the solving of the crime. Hercule Poirot, as usual, is an entertaining and eccentric character and gets the ball rolling when he begins to work his magic in unveiling the truth in this double murder mystery. This book helps you get to know the people affected by this tragic crime more than other Christie books. The ending is very clever and makes up for the slow beginning. Overall I enjoyed this book and was thoroughly impressed by the solving of the murders.
