From AudioFile

This is one Poirot story in which the famous sleuth is nearly baffled. While vacationing on the Cornish coast, Hercule and his friend Hastings become convinced that the beautiful and carefree Nick Buckley, who lives in the mysterious "End House" nearby, is the target of a determined murderer. Each character in carefully and skillfully brought to life with the usual aplomb by the wonderful Hugh Fraser. No matter what the plot's twists and turns, Fraser makes it all believable and easy to follow. There is never a question of who is who as Fraser does a beautiful job of making each character an individual. It's all good old-fashioned mystery fun.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Hercule Poirot Stumbles Across a Difficult Challenge, Nov. 24 2009
This review is from: Peril At End House (Paperback)
This book is exactly what you come to expect from an Agatha Christie mystery, but with a change in Hercule Poirot, the famous detective and star of this mystery series. He has just retired and is slowly settling into a quiet, calm life of leisure and is refusing to be called back into duty. His mind, he thinks, is made up. However, a new mystery finds him, small and subtle at first, then shows itself to have a sinister meaning. He cant help but observe that which is right in front of him, and without meaning to, he is drawn into its web, and begins to apply his detective skills.

The great Hercule Poirot, who is known far and wide for his unmatched detective skills, cant resist asking one question, then another, then another. A perplexing and potentially deadly set of circumstances takes shape, and his concern for the wellbeing of a young woman he happens to meet, leads him to investigate. However, the motives and players behind this mystery prove themselves difficult for him to ascertain. Where he was always bursting with confidence and assuredness in his perceptions, skills, and outcomes, he is now struggling with something unfamiliar to him  a shaky self-confidence that worsens and lingering uncertainty. He finds himself bumbling about without meaning to. As events unfold, he feels powerless to stop them. His once sharp and nearly infallible intellect and investigative skills seem to be outmatched. His frustration grows and so do his mistakes, missteps, and incorrect assumptions.

With its intriguing twists and turns, Peril at End House is a very engaging and rewarding mystery tale and will be sure to please die-hard Agatha Christie fans as well as those new to the stories.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another surprising twist from Dame Agatha, Fév 2 2004
Par Jeanne Tassotto (Trapped in the Midwest) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Peril At End House (Paperback)
The story opens with Poirot and Hastings relaxing at a seaside resort. Poirot has been asked by the Home Secretary to take up a case but, much to Hastings shock, firmly insists that he has retired and will not take up the case. He does concede that if a bullet should happen to strike the wall by his head he might take up another case. One does which leads Poirot and Hastings to a young woman who has had three narrow escapes with death in the last few days. There are more strange accidents, a murder, drugs and secret engagements for Poirot to sort through before he arrives at the solution.

PERIL AT END HOUSE, like THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD of two years before, is another of Christie's 'rule breaking' novels, but like always, Christie played fairly with the reader, all the needed clues were there to be followed.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Rules are made to be broken..., Janv. 31 2004
Par Jeanne Tassotto (Trapped in the Midwest) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Peril At End House (Paperback)
Mystery writers are supposed to play by a set of rules, ie give the reader all the clues, no rare, undetectable poisons, the murder can't be the butler, detective, victim or someone we've never met etc. Agatha Christie always played fair in that all the clues were present for the reader, and she didn't rely on obscure poisons unknown-to-science but she was somewhat more creative in her interpretations of some of the others. PERIL AT END HOUSE is an example of Christie's creativeness with one of the rules of mystery writing (but you'll have to read the book to find out which rule).

Poirot and Hastings are spending some time at a seaside resort. Poirot is still insisting that he has retired but concedes that "...if a bullet should strike the wall by my head, I would ...investigate the matter!" Needless to say one does and Poirot is soon investigating the numerous attempts on the life of a young woman. Poirot sorts his way through a murder, drug trafficking, false identities, secret engagements and attempted frauds to reach the truth.

The ending is clever and we are treated to Poirot being forced to ask someone else for the answer to a minor secondary puzzle.
