Slony nezabúdajú (slovensky) – Christie Agatha (2021)

The detective novel Elephants Can Remember was written by Agatha Christie in 1972 as the last novel featuring Hercule Poirot and the author of detective novels Ariadne Oliver. It is Mrs. Oliver who convinces the famous detective to help her uncover the truth about a certain old crime. Brilliant... the author reveals everything we want to know, yet we remain in the dark until the very end. The Times Twelve years ago, the bodies of a man and a woman were found on the cliff near Overcliffe estate - they were General Alistair Ravenscroft and his wife Margaret. Both died from gunshot wounds, but who killed whom? Was it a suicide pact between the spouses? A crime of passion? Or perhaps a cold-blooded murder? Poirot attempts to unravel this mystery at the request of Celia, the goddaughter of his friend Ariadne Oliver. Celia is the daughter of the murdered couple and wants to finally learn the truth about her parents' deaths after all these years. Hercule Poirot gradually forms a picture of the old crime based solely on individual testimonies and witness statements, and the deeper he delves into the investigation, the more he is convinced that when physical evidence is lacking, one must rely on the notion that 'old sins cast long shadows.'
