✦ Synopsis

Sometimes called "cozy murder mysteries," traditional British detective stories like this one are as compelling in audio form as on the page, especially when delivered in the proper English tones of actor Hugh Fraser. In this mystery, dentist Dr. Morley is found shot not long after Hercule Poirot himself has paid a visit. When Morley's last patient also turns up dead and the prime minister is shot at, Poirot tries to determine the connection between the good doctor and a possible government plot.

Review

"Highly recommended." -- Library Journal, December 2004

"This classic mystery has stood the test of time. Audio listeners will enjoy hearing an old favorite." -- AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

From AudioFile

Hugh Fraser, known to TV audiences as Captain Hastings on "Mystery's" Hercule Poirot series, has once again recorded a vintage Christie detective story. This story could have been titled THE CASE OF THE MURDERED DENTIST except that the author was going through her phase of using nursery rhyme titles to give clues. (First clue, "buckle.") Hugh Fraser does a passably good job of presenting the great Belgian detective, although one misses David Suchet's portrayal. Fraser's delivery is well paced, the diction clear, and the characters well delineated. This classic mystery has stood the test of time. Audio listeners will enjoy hearing an old favorite.
