One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
by Agatha Christie
What begins as a routine morning at 58 Queen Charlotte Street ends in tragedy when Hercule Poirot's dentist, the seemingly unremarkable Mr. Morley, is found dead. While a gunshot wound to the temple and a pistol by his side suggest a clear-cut case of suicide, Poirot is unconvinced by the lack of a clear motive. As the detective investigates a roster of patients ranging from powerful financiers to mysterious foreigners, he discovers that a simple dental appointment may have been the catalyst for murder. Amidst the echoes of a childhood nursery rhyme, Poirot must peel back layers of deception to find the truth behind the dentist's demise.
