One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

Finally, i read every single chapter of that detective fiction novel.
I believe that Agatha Christie is one of the best writers.
But in my opinion, her novel i finished recently - it's succesfully bored me. It doesn't impress me at all!
I guess there must be some misinterpreted since that book have been translated into bahasa.
I hope that won't be happened if someday i decide to read the original version of that book.
Someday, when i speak English fluently.
Here is the plot introduction of One, Two, Buckle My Shoe by Agatha Christie:
One, Two buckle my shoe
three, four, shut the door
five, six, pick up sticks
seven, eight, lay them straight
nine, ten, a big, fat hen
eleven, twelve, dig and delve
thirteen, fourteen, maids a courting
fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen
seventeen, eighteen, maids awaiting
nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty

Hercule Poirot’s dentist, Henry Morley, is found dead from a gun shot wound. The official verdict is that he has killed himself and apparently supported when it appears that he has given one of his patients, Amberiotis, a fatal overdose of anaesthetic. Poirot suspects that there is more to the case than there first appears, and soon events confirm his worst suspicions.
