Agatha Christie's ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman. But then she had led an unusual life. 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. Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick's sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection. At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn't been committed. Yet.

Review of 'Peril at End House (Poirot)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Poirot and Hastings are on holiday when they meet Nick Buckley, a lovely girl that lives alone at the End House. Apparently almost fatal accidents have been happening to Buckley and Poirot suspects her life is at risk. However, the real mystery seems to be in understanding who is to gain by her death.

I didn't remember much from this story so I enjoyed it a lot! There is suspense and I was very surprised by the end, Christie did a fine work weaving this plot. A good Poirot mystery!
