Peril at End House

Hercule Poirot, on a seemingly tranquil holiday in Cornwall, finds his vacation abruptly interrupted by the enigmatic Nick Buckley, a spirited young woman who has narrowly escaped a string of alarming 'accidents.' From a falling painting to a jammed car brake and a miraculously deflected bullet, it becomes chillingly clear to the astute Belgian detective that these are no mere coincidences; someone is deliberately attempting to take Nick's life. Aided by his faithful companion Captain Hastings, Poirot delves into the seemingly idyllic world of End House, uncovering a tangled web of family secrets, disputed inheritances, and hidden motives. Even relocating Nick to a nursing home fails to deter the unseen assailant, forcing Poirot to employ his legendary 'little grey cells' and a carefully orchestrated ruse to expose a cunning and ruthless killer, whose identity proves to be as shocking as their meticulously planned acts of peril.
