The Agatha Christie Crime Collection 3 in one. Ordeal by Innocence. One, two, buckle my shoe. Adventures of the Christmas Pudding.
1.Ordeal by Innocence - Two years ago, Jacko Argyle's conviction for the brutal murder of his mother had been assured by the complete lack of any evidence supporting his claim to have been miles away, in the car of a complete stranger. Now, two years later, with Jacko Argyle dead and almost forgotten by the world at large, the stranger turns up. With the best of all reasons for not having come forward earlier with his evidence, he can at least console the family with the hope of a free pardon for the dead boy. Yet the family would clearly have preferred the earlier certainty of Jacko's guilt. Only gradually does Arthur Calgary realize why: If Jacko was not the murderer, then who, among the victim's family was?
2. One, Two, Buckle my Shoe - The surgery and waiting room of a busy London dentist provide a temporary resting place for an ever-changing population. At any moment those to be found there are likely to have little in common-except the ill-suppressed apprehensiveness that so often seize even unimaginative people at the thought of that very special chair. On one particular morning, at the premises of Mr Morley, things were rather different. Three people there had more in common than they knew, more than they would have delivered any comfort from knowing. All three were destined soon. very soon to be dead.
3. The Adventures of the Christmas Pudding. The idea of a "white Christmas" at an English country house was not one that appealed to Poirot: especially since the house in question boasted a fourteen-century wing. For Poirot, this spelled stone floors, draughts and ice-cold bedrooms. But the discovery that this admirable establishment had oil-fired central heating and other similar concessions to the twentieth century finally persuaded him that the gastronomic delights that has been promised might be enjoyed at not too high a cost. And then there was the fee, of course; because this was not really a holiday. There was a job to be done-an investigation requiring all the all the resourcefulness and tact which Poirot prided himself on possessing to a quiet exceptional degree.
