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!
