![]() Poirot must have met Reggie Fortune recently, for, in addition to certain mannerisms (“Oh, my Japp”), he suspects a vast conspiracy behind three deaths (the “suicide” of Poirot’s dentist, the poisoning of a Greek blackmailer and the murder of an unknown woman in a fur-chest) despite police incredulity and a desire to see only the obvious and, at the end, in a remarkable scene which shows Poirot’s conscience, he condemns the murderer with the Old Testament. May well be the refrain of this detective story, for it is from an examination of trivia – shoes, stockings and false teeth, those outward appurtenances which maketh the man (or woman, as the case may be) – that Poirot is able to discover one of the most cold-blooded and elaborate plots which even Agatha Christie has devised, and which the reader can – very dimly – see from the moment that Poirot, attending morning service for the only time in the books, discovers that he has very nearly fallen into a trap. ![]() “For want of a buckle, the shoe was lost ![]() ![]() ![]() And-as long as the highly-specific combination of taxis, planes, boats, and trains all run on time-it can’t possibly go wrong.
