Publisher Description
In the Agatha Christie classic Peril at End House, a young woman who has recently survived a series of very close calls appears to be the target of a dedicated killer—and it’s up to Hercule Poirot to save her life.
On holiday on the Cornish Riviera, Hercule Poirot is alarmed to hear pretty Nick Buckley describe her recent “accidental brushes with death.” 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.
So when Poirot finds a bullet hole in Nick’s sun hat, he decides that this girl needs his help. Can he find the would-be killer before he hits his target?

" I can never, NEVER! figure out the end of an Agatha Christie book! I never wavered from my decision as to who the culprit was, I just <em>knew</em> it was her! And of course, I was wrong and the end had a twist I didn't see coming at all! "

" An excellent Poirot case. The story flowed well; there was a satisfactory number of red herrings; in the end, the villain was as I suspected but couldn't bring myself to justify. All in all, a great read.<br/> "
