It was shortly after his 12:30 appointment that Dr. Morley was found with a bullet through his right temple. The gun was on the floor beside him. The authorities were satisfied that the amiable old dentist had shot himself. Hercule Poirot was not. But who could have murdered him? One of Dr. Morley's glamorous patients? His hard-drinking partner? His secretary's disgruntled boyfriend? All Poirot has is a hunch, too many clues and a killer who will not be satisfied with only one victim.
I've been enjoying re-reading my Agatha Christie collection in honor of the 2011Vintage Mystery Challenge. I'm intrigued by what I do and don't remember of the plot, the characters, and the resolution in these books. I find that, while there are certain elements I've retained through the years (I've been reading Christie for a good 20 years or so) there are also certain points that elude me right up to the end. I like that.
It's always fun to revisit the Agatha Christie mysteries! I've got this one added to your tally at the progress site.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I've never read an Agatha Christie novel. Really. But I have gotten back into reading novels with your prompting, so maybe I will in the not-so-distant future :)
