![]() ![]() My first plan was to look at After The Funeral, but that was just done over at The Reader Is Warned. ![]() It’s been over six months since Dame Agatha cropped up on the blog with the rather woeful Elephants Can Remember, so I thought it was time to take a look at her again. Poirot sets out to find a murderer, but when Japp is pulled off the case, Poirot finds himself on his own.Ĭontinuing my habit of looking at hard-to-find authors – Brian Flynn, John Rhode, etc, I’ve come across this one – any heard of Agatha Christie? Just kidding. While Japp tries to establish a motive for the suicide and Poirot scents murder, it transpires that apparently Morley accidentally gave a fatal overdose to his last patient that day and shot himself out of guilt. Let’s face it, from that cover picture, he doesn’t look like the model of mental stability – and yes, I know what pedants might say… ![]() Needless to say, he’s back later that day as his dentist, Morley, has apparently shot himself. ![]() Even great detectives need healthy teeth, and when Hercule Poirot visits the dentist, thankfully hilarity doesn’t ensue – bet it did on the television adaptation – and after “just” a couple of fillings, he is on his merry way, glad that he doesn’t have to go back for another six months. ![]()
