在马扬海峡从事警察工作多年的卢克·菲茨威廉终于回到了他的故乡英格兰,在前往伦敦的火车上,他偶遇一位平克顿老小姐,她自称要去苏格兰场报告一起连环杀人案。据她讲,凶手是个不会被怀疑到的人,她是从此人的眼神中察觉了杀机。为了阻止凶手的下一次行动——谋害一位亨伯比医生,她决定报警……卢克对此只是付之一笑,认为这是老太太的胡思乱想,然而接下来发生的两件事改变了他的看法:先是平克顿小姐在赶去报警途中“意外”死于车祸,然后卢克在几天后的报纸上发现一条讣告,死者正是亨伯比医生……
为了查明事情的真相,卢克冒充成作家,来到了平克顿小姐居住的村庄。借住在暴发户戈登勋爵家,勋爵的未婚妻布里奇特是卢克朋友的表妹,这个聪明的女孩很快察觉了卢克的真正意图,开始和他一同暗中调查起来,并介绍他认识了韦恩弗利特小姐——一个似乎对杀人案有所怀疑的老小姐。在调查中,卢克发现这个地方最近“意外”频频,也认识了村中的不少人:年轻有为的托马斯医生,对托马斯有意的亨伯比小姐,酷爱养狗的霍顿上校,一本正经的艾博特律师,喜欢装神弄鬼的古玩店老板……他们看起来都很正常,难道其中真的有个杀人狂吗?与此同时,卢克和布里奇特渐渐日久生情,可是调查始终没有头绪,韦恩弗利特小姐好像知道什么,但却对卢克欲言又止。这时,又一起“意外”发生了,卢克觉得恍然大悟:莫非凶手是——?
本书是一个典型的AC式“小镇凶杀”故事,有相对封闭的环境和为数众多的嫌疑人,凶手也是“意料之外,情理之中”,是一部挑战脑力之作(我当年看这本书,死了无数脑细胞还是猜错,唉……)。正如书名所说,凶手的杀人方式极为简单有效,让我不由想起了一句吸尘器广告:你只要轻轻一推……

A tyrannical old martinet, a mental sadist and the incarnation of evil. These were only three of the character descriptions levelled at Mrs. Boynton, the matriarch who kept her family totally dependent on her. But did she really deserve to die on the excursion to beautiful Petra? Hercule Poirot hears about the murder and feels compelled to investigate-despite the family's request not to do so. Do they have something to hide and, if so, can they keep it hidden from this master sleuth?

A dentist lies murdered at his Harley Street practice...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 local 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 shoe buckle holds the key to the mystery. Now -- in the words of the rhyme -- can Poirot pick up the sticks and lay them straight?
