This is my fifth Hercule mystery, and as customary, I didn't solve the murder. But I did solve 'Death on the Nile', so a twenty percent solving average is not bad. In this investigation, even the great Hercule was stumped for awhile as he thought to himself, "Is it possible that I am growing old?" But he must have been doing his job, since one of the suspects, Jane Olivera, said to him, "I loathe the sight of you-you bloody little
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? This title was previously published as The Patriotic Murders and An Overdose of Death.. The dentist was found with a blackened hole below his right temple. Later, one of his patients was found dead from a lethal dose of local anaesthetic. A pistol lay on the floor near his out flung right hand. A clear case of murder and suicide
