Poirot details from bookadda

A brand new three-in-one Poirot omnibus, featuring the world-renowned detective's wartime adventures. Includes One, Two Buckle My Shoe, Five Little Pigs, Taken at The Flood.

It seems Hitler's Luftwaffe aren't the only ones responsible for the deaths of innocent people as World War II rages – it seems plenty of murderers are willing to help them reduce Britain' war-torn population even further. And it's up to Hercule Poirot to stop them…

One, Two Buckle my Shoe
The dentist was found with a blackened hole below his right temple. A pistol lay on the floor near his outflung right hand. Later, one of his patients was found dead from a lethal dose of anaesthetic. A clear case of murder and suicide – but why would a dentist commit a crime in the middle of a busy day of appointments?
A show buckle holds the key to the mystery. Now – in the words of the rhyme – can Poirot pick up the sticks and lay them straight?

Five Little Pigs Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, yet there were five other subjects: Philip Blake (the stockbroker) who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist) who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee) who had roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess) who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister) who cried 'wee wee wee' all the way home.
It is sixteen years later, but Hercule Poirot just can't get that nursery rhyme out of his head…
