Today, I read Review about One Two Buckle My Shoe - Agatha Christie on Mouthshut.com – the Consumer Review Website.
Of all the visits to the doctors the most dreaded one is that to the dentist. One feels the most vulnerable and helpless in a dentist’s chair. That is exactly how Poirot feels when he pays a visit to 58,Queen Charlotte Street, one fine morning for one of his regular half yearly sitting with his dentist Mr. Morley not knowing that it’s the last time he’s visiting his chamber or seeing him alive. The same afternoon Mr. Morley is found dead in his chamber. Scotland Yard is unable to decide whether it is suicide or murder. The mystery deepens when another patient of Dr. Morley, Mr. Amberiotis, dies due to wrong ministration of medicines injected during dental treatment. Inspector Japp, investigating the case, jumps to the conclusion that Mr. Morley mistakenly gave the fatal dosage, felt guilty later having realized the blunder and committed suicide. But Poirot thinks not. The Belgian detective’s suspicion is proven correct when another of Mr. Morley’s hapless patient Ms. Sainsbury Seale mysteriously goes missing one night after having walked out of her hotel for a stroll. Not to overlook the political angle to the catastrophes, Mr. Alfred Blunt, the man behind England’s financial stronghold, has two narrow escapes from death. Reason? The anarchists believe that removing him will help usher a new order. Oh yes! Incidentally, Mr. Blunt is also one of the celebrity patients of Mr. Morley.
He invites Poirot to solve the case of the missing Ms. Seale because her disappearance troubles him. As the plot takes its usual Christie-ian twists and turns, the reader is caught in the roller coaster ride of murders, attempted murders, disappearances, lover’s dilemmas and what not. Here I shall seal my mouth (nay, pen, nay keyboard) and let the readers crave for more. But to know more one must read another of Christie’s mind boggling murder mysteries – “One Two Buckle My Shoe”.
RATING: 4/5
