I am reading through the novels of Agatha Christie in the order in which they were written and writing a review on each one.
Peril at End House
1932
Description
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.
My Thoughts
This is the 15th book by Agatha Christie and the 7th Poirot Mystery
The clues are always there. No matter what they say - the clues are always there.
That is exactly how it is with this book which means that once you have read it (and no doubt missed some clues) you will enjoy reading it again later even though it is one of those books that you will remember who the murderer is.
But would anyone other than Poirot have solved this one? In fact I actually think Miss Marple would also have spotted the very deviousness of this murderer.
A clever thought out murder mystery with a clever and vile murderer.
Great read. Great deduction.
