But, in fact, she's more worried about her son's fortune that's slipping out of her grasp. She justifies her actions by saying that she loves her son and wants what is best for him, and she is afraid that his marriage to Celia Ravenscroft is a bad idea.

Oliver, is a nosy busy-body who is in it for the money. It's been over a decade since the murder, but as the two friends begin their inquiries, it becomes clear that "elephants - and people - can remember." Startled and unsure, Miss Oliver enlists the help of the famous Hercule Poirot to find the answer to that question. The double suicide of General and Lady Ravenscroft happened fifteen years ago, but the length of time that has passed doesn't stop a worried, nosy mother from posing this question to mystery writer Ariadne Oliver: did the wife kill the husband and then kill herself, or did the husband kill the wife and then commit suicide? Elephants Can Remember by Agatha ChristieĪ wonderful mystery with good development, but with some moral problems.
