One, Two, Buckle My Shoe: A Hercule Poirot Mystery

The discovery of a dentist with a gunshot wound near his right temple and a pistol nearby, followed by the death of one of his patients from an overdose of local anesthetic, initially seems like a clear case of murder and suicide. However, the motive behind such actions during a busy day of appointments remains puzzling.

The solution to the mystery hinges on a shoe buckle. Can Hercule Poirot decipher the clues and solve the puzzle, as hinted in the rhyme? This story was formerly known as “The Patriotic Murders” and “An Overdose of Death.”
