Publisher Description
In the Agatha Christie classic Peril at End House, a young woman who has recently survived a series of very close calls appears to be the target of a dedicated killer—and it’s up to Hercule Poirot to save her life.
On holiday on the Cornish Riviera, Hercule Poirot is alarmed to hear pretty Nick Buckley describe her recent “accidental brushes with death.” First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside, the brakes on her car failed. Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder missed her by inches. Later, an oil painting fell and almost crushed her in bed.
So when Poirot finds a bullet hole in Nick’s sun hat, he decides that this girl needs his help. Can he find the would-be killer before he hits his target?
Customer Reviews
Good to the End.
I’ve seen the Suchet version of Peril at End House, but didn’t quite remember the full story. It’s a bit of a maze, but quite satisfying in the end. As this is the one of the books at the end of the Poirot series, the Dame is showing he & Hastings in their twilight. A little grumpy & impatient, we get to enjoy them snipping at each other as only old friends can.
Peril at End House
I have always been fond of Agatha Christie's murder mystery books, growing up reading them bound in a leather collection my Grandma purchased back in the mid 80's. Personal nostalgia, a smile is upon my face! I loved Death on the Nile and Evil under the Sun, as well as Murder on the Orient Express; all solved by our Belgian detective, M. Hercule Poirot! Peril at End House was an excellent read and won't disappoint... I finished reading it today and it surprisingly just might be my favorite yet!
