![]() Miss Sainsbury Seale has a chequered past, having been an actress in her youth and then having shockingly married a Hindu in India (well, it was shocking in 1940 when the book was written), before deserting him and returning home to England. ![]() Mr Barnes is retired from the Secret Services. Mr Amberiotis is a Greek gentleman with a dubious reputation. There had been quite a collection of notable patients at Mr Morley's surgery that day. So the police investigation stops, but Poirot isn't convinced and continues with his own investigation. ![]() Let's hope Poirot didn't have a doctor's appointment that afternoon! At first, Inspector Japp thinks Mr Morley, who was found shot dead with a gun beside him, has been murdered, but when one of his patients dies later that day of an overdose of the Procaine used to numb his mouth, it's assumed Mr Morley made a mistake and then in a fit of remorse killed himself. ![]() Later, one of his patients is found dead and another has gone missing. ![]() By the end of the morning, Mr Morley is dead. The thing is – if Hercule Poirot ever threatens to visit you, make an excuse and then flee to the other side of the world because no one is safe around that man! In this book he visits his dentist, Mr Morley, for a routine check-up. ![]()
