The meticulous detective Hercule Poirot suspects the worst of the death of a dentist in this classic mystery by Queen of Whodunits, Agatha Christie.

Quotes
-
“A swift course of unflagging suspense leads to a complete surprise.”
— New York Times -
“This is major Christie.”
— New York Herald Tribune -
“Hercule Poirot and Inspector Japp…look into the puzzling death of Hercule’s dentist in One, Two, Buckle My Shoe, from 1940. Hercule must solve the crime while preventing further deaths, with prominent financier Alistair Blunt a much-threatened target. As wonderful as Hugh Fraser is as Captain Hastings in the television adaptations of the Poirot tales, he is even better as the reader…Highly recommended for popular collections.”
— Library Journal (starred audio review) -
“Fraser’s delivery is well paced, the diction clear, and the characters well delineated. This classic mystery has stood the test of time. Audio listeners will enjoy hearing an old favorite.”

" simply the best book i read for Agatha Christie "
— Tariq, 2/2/2011 -
" The mystery was very interesting and complicated, but I felt that the way the chapters matched the parts of the nursery rhyme was a little forced. Also, I agree with the other reviewer who is sick of Christie's racism. All the little comments add up after a while. "
— Miriam, 1/6/2011 -
" Dear Agatha Christie, I adore you. "
