This one was very enjoyable. Poirot is on holiday (poor chap - never took a holiday that didn't turn into work for him!) and he comes across a vivacious young girl who has several attempts made on her life. Poirot steps into the scene but someone gets murdered by mistake. Eventually, the truth comes to light but not before a number of red herrings. The investigation gets more confused because there is a forgery as well.

Poirot and Hastings are on holiday in Cornwall. When Poirot stumbles, he is helped by his old friend and a young lady, ‘Nick’ Buckley. The three sit in the garden and, when Nick brushes away a wasp, it appears that the wasp was really a bullet, which has whizzed past her head. Nick admits that she has had several near misses from death and Poirot is convinced that somebody is trying to kill her.

Peril at End House by Agatha Christie.
Hercule Poiror and Captain Hastings (ret,) are on vacation and enjoying their leisure. That is until Mademoiselle Buckley appears on the scene and then situation takes a dramatic turn.
This story kept me fascinated from the beginning. A.G. left nothing to the imagination investigating every possible suspect as he turned over a new clue by the hour. The ending exploded with an exciting twist of events.

This is one of my Hercule Poirot's favorites. It has an astounding plot twist and I enjoyed reading it til the last page.

Great story, great setting and full-on Poirot and Hastings throughout. What’s not to love!
What a fantastic plot. Classic brilliant Poirot. I love it!
This is so different from others in series. It so easily deceives the reader. A great story from a great author!
