About this listen

Shortly after Hercule Poirot’s visit, a dentist lies murdered in his Harley Street practice…

The dentist was found with a blackened hole below his right temple. A pistol lay on the floor near his outflung right hand. Later, one of his patients was found dead from a lethal dose of local anaesthetic. A clear case of murder and suicide. But why would a dentist commit a crime in the middle of a busy day of appointments?

A shoe buckle holds the key to the mystery. Now – in the words of the rhyme – can Poirot pick up the sticks and lay them straight?

Hugh Fraser is wonderful as ever. I really thought I had it this time. Sadly I was wildly incorrect. Maybe next time.

Another great Christie.

An interesting story, the detective component is quite satisfactory. Not all of the Christie's stories are such existing. I recommend it.

Interesting and exciting

I love an Agatha Christie novel, especially Poirot but I feel when read by Hugh Fraser they just go to the next level of enjoyment. Thoroughly enjoyed listening.

Hugh Fraser brings the story to life

Great narration by Hugh Fraser again I wish all the Poirot stories where narrated by him. Even though I've read this story loads of times I'd actually forgot who the murder was.

Another great Agatha Christie story.
