Peril at End House

 by Agatha Christie

eBook on Libby, 396 pages

Published: 1932

genre: murder mystery, Hercule Poirot


I like having a book on my phone, just in case. I love Agatha Christie books, though I prefer Miss Marple to Hercule Poirot. In this story, Hercule is retired but gets drawn into a case when he encounters young "Nick" Buckley, a woman who has had numerous close calls. Her cavalier attitude toward her own safety and the constant refrain of Poirot's losing his touch made for an interesting but not necessarily enjoyable story. I didn't figure it out. I didn't love it as much as other Christie mysteries.
