Fast moving, I really enjoyed it. I would have given it a 5, but I would have liked it if they tied up one last loose end regarding Michael Seaton's money and where it finally ended up in the end. I also wish I knew more French! (lol)

Peril at End House shows a naïve Hercule Poirot that falls under the spells of Magdala “Nick” Buckley. Each chapter displays a foolish man that believes everything a young, beautiful woman tells him. Poirot does not allow the little gray…

Poorly written, simplistic, devoid of any 1930s period feeling, and just not interesting. Stuffy. I liked some of the Miss Marple stories and novels, especially The Blue Geranium and A Murder is Announced. Those had atmosphere. End House,…

I was so surprised when the author revealed the murderer! She had me completely fooled. Indeed, take her advice, the culprit will be the least suspected character.

Poirot and Hastings are together for an adventure unlikely to be found on vacation unless you are Poirot and Hastings. The pace is even with Poirot getting one step ahead of Hastings just when he thinks he is on par. I enjoyed the ending…

Pretty good read like most Agatha Christie books not my most favorite mystery but still pretty good.

I have only read the first chapter, but it is eerily like the introduction to most any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. He is obviously her inspiration.

"Peril At End House was surprisingly a great reading experience for me and it is now one of my favourite Agatha Christie novels. The plot and characters are interesting and as usual, Poirot and Hastings continue their typical banter during…

I like Christie's writing and Poirot is one of entertainment's great character creations. I haven't read much Christie for decades, but I read this because I like the tv series with David Suchet very, very much. I prefer the tv series in…

I'm a huge fan of Agatha Christie and the Hercule Poirot series, and this one was fairly satisfying. As usual, Agatha Christie works wonders and the ending was shocking, but I feel like the plot was kind of overdone and had a few…
