One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

The dentist was found with a blackened hole below his right temple. A pistol lay on the floor near his out flung 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?

This title was previously published as The Patriotic Murders and An Overdose of Death.

Loved the rhyme theme!

Great story, but you have to pay attention! Its so much fun to try to figure it out yourself!

What about Hugh Fraser’s performance did you like?

I have enjoyed listening to Hugh Fraser's performances of Christie's works. I have listened to several, and he does such a great job as narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I was okay with drawing it over several sittings. It got a little slow in places, and the ending seemed a little improbable.

YES

Mrs. Christie has done it again. Ingenious puzzle, the intriguing H.. Poirot, the technique of being frozen in a sliver of time. And, world class narration.

One two buckle my shoe

Eventually, the reader begins to see something of a deterioration in Agatha Christie's writing. I have found it so in almost any author's writing. This story is well constucted. However, her Middle East mysteries are almost too challenging... Just thought I'd throw that in.

Love Agatha’s books

Love mysteries, love Hercule Piriot. Kept me wondering to the end. Definitely recommend this listen.

A Fine Mystery

The plot didn’t reveal anything until near the end. Keeps you guessing throughout the story. Very interesting and enjoyable.

It's Poirot...

It's hard not to love a Poirot mystery. It's all the better when narrated by Hugh Fraser or David Suchet.

Love my Christie!

Of Course I adore Hugh Frazier's reading. My discovery of lesser famous Christie stories through Audible is like finding special gems.

Delightful

Love it, good mystery, great puzzle. Second time listening with my daughter after a space of four-five years and had forgotten the resolution and I still couldn’t solve it, the second time around! Goodness, if I only had an egg shaped head … but we came close on a few points and it was exciting to ponder.

Interesting Rhyming Theme

I rather like the addition of the old nursery rhyme with this book, it kept me thinking about how the part will be applied to the book.
