Finished "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe", by Agatha Christie (US title "The Patriotic Murders"). This was her 36th book, and was originally published in 1940.
When Hercule Poirot's own dentist, Henry Morley, is found dead from a gunshot wound, the official verdict is that he has killed himself; a verdict apparently supported when it appears that he has given one of his patients a fatal overdose of anaesthetic. Poirot suspects, however, that there is more to the case than at first appears, and soon events confirm his worst suspicions.
A very good book. Lots of twists and turns in the plot, and a surprising (for me, at least) ending.
