Summary

While a trip to the dentist with Agatha Christie is the only trip to the dentist one might actually enjoy, we are sad to report our enjoyment of this novel was somewhat sullied by the incompleteness of the puzzle mystery therein.

0:56.6	under yet another title, an overdose of death.
0:59.9	All three of those titles to me
1:01.3	sound like they are for very different books.
