Description:  Even the great detective Hercule Poirot harbored a deep and abiding fear of the dentist, so it was with some trepidation that he arrived at the celebrated Dr. Morley’s surgery for a dental examination. But what neither of them knew was that only hours later Poirot would be back to examine the dentist, found dead in his own surgery.

Turning to the other patients for answers, Poirot finds other, darker, questions.…

Also, published as The Patriotic Murders and An Overdose of Death

Genre: Mystery - Classic 

Why I Picked This Book:  This was the August pick for the Read Christie 2025 Challenge

My Impression:  This is one of those Christie hidden gems.  It's not a book that gets a lot of attention and it isn't one I remember when listing my favorite Christie books.  When I saw this one on the list I couldn't even remember which one it is (I always get it confused with another nursery rhyme title - Pocket Full of Rye).  

When I picked this one I was quickly pulled in as a number of very different characters prepare to go to the dentist.  The mystery unravels pretty quickly and I flew through this book.  I really enjoyed Christie's twists and turns and her clever little plot points.  I wasn't sure just how the book would turn out until the very end and I had all kinds of theories.  

This is an interesting lesser known Christie with some good twists and an interesting ending.

Would I Read More of this Series/Author?   Absolutely!  Christie is one of my favorite authors and I'm already looking forward to the September Read Christie book.

Would I Recommend this Book?  I would!  This is an interesting mystery with a cleverly intricate plot.
