I liked it but man, was it confusing

I love an intricate plot, but there's a difference between intricate and downright confusing. "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" is the latter.

When Poirot's dentist is found shot to death shortly after Poirot's appointment, the Belgian detective is on the case. Though some assume it's suicide, he knows it is not. He begins by looking at everyone who had an appointment after his: Alistair Blunt, a prominent bank director, Frank Carter, who had a grudge against the dentist, Mr. Amberiotis, from India, and Mabelle Sainsbury-Seale, an ex-actress just in from India.

Mabelle disappears, and Mr. Amberiotis is found dead. So what's going on? The answer can be found in India, years earlier.

Intriguing mystery, with Suchet in his usual top form and the normally high production values. If you see this, concentrate. concentrate hard. It's not easy to follow. I was reminded of an Inspector Morse episode where I couldn't figure out whodunit and asked a friend, who answered, "I not only know whodunit, I don't know who was killed."
