Moord in de martelstoel
Ratings5
Average rating3.8
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?

I have been reading through all of Christie's mysteries chronologically and this one didn't impress me much. It is called either One, Two, Buckle My Shoe (UK version) or The Patriotic Murders (US version) but neither title resonated. The politics of it are murky. She doesn't risk going into political specifics (which is understandable) so the motives seemed weak to me. It's not a bad read, especially if you are a diehard Christie fan. But it's not one I would recommend to someone just looking for a good one-off mystery to read.
