A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring John Moffatt as the great Belgian detective.Poirot has always hated visiting the dentist, but this time his check-up is painless and soon over. As he leaves Mr Morley's surgery, he observes a woman wearing patent leather shoes with large buckles. She catches one of the buckles on the taxi door and wrenches it off, and as Poirot hands it back, he is reminded of the children's rhyme 'One, two, buckle my shoe'.Back home, Poirot is astonished to receive a call from Chief Inspector Japp, informing him that Mr Morley has shot himself. There was no reason for him to commit suicide, and Poirot believes he was murdered, but who would want to kill an inoffensive dentist?

But with so many suspects, and a wealth of motives to digest, he has a long way to go before his plate's empty...

Customer Reviews

A master of suspense, machinations and crime writing, Agatha Christie brings everyone’s favourite detective back in One, Two, Buckle My Shoe – Hercule Poirot. This time the victim is none other than Poirot’s own dentist, Henry Morley, who initially appears to have committed suicide. The unusual title of the story derives from the famous nursery rhyme that shares the same name and interestingly, every chapter is named after a line in the song.

We join the fatal tale as Poirot suspects that Morley was murdered and while the official verdict is suicide Poirot, as ever, knows better! After investigating the death, threads soon start to unravel and it is clear that there is far more to the story than was first expected. After some digging and delving in true-Poirot style, we learn that Morley may have had a penchant for killing. Did the dentist administer a lethal anaesthetic overdose to a patient before he died and can the great Belgian detective solve yet another mystery? 

This crime mystery stands out from Christie’s other fictional tales as it is the first Poirot adventure that reflects the enveloping darkness of WWII. English actor John Moffatt stars as the voice of Poirot in this MP3 audiobook that is also available as a CD audiobook, as we delve into one of Christie’s most openly political novels.
