Peril at End House

A charming young woman. A house full of danger. Death wearing a smile.

In Agatha Christie’s masterful Hercule Poirot novel, the great detective and Captain Hastings are enjoying a peaceful holiday on the Cornish coast when they meet the vivacious and fearless Magdala “Nick” Buckley. The owner of the crumbling yet charming End House, Nick casually mentions that someone seems to be trying to kill her. What begins as a possible joke quickly turns deadly serious as a series of increasingly sinister “accidents” culminate in murder.

Poirot finds himself drawn into a web of jealousy, greed, hidden relationships, and family secrets among Nick’s circle of friends and relatives. With his little gray cells working at full capacity, the Belgian detective must separate truth from deception before the killer strikes again—perhaps at the one person Poirot is determined to protect.

A brilliantly constructed puzzle filled with red herrings, sparkling dialogue, and one of Christie’s most surprising solutions, Peril at End House showcases Poirot at his most charismatic and cunning.
