Book #8 in the Hercule Poirot series.

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?

Known as the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie created Hercule Poirot, one of crime fiction’s most beloved detectives. Most Poirot novels are self-contained mysteries, so readers can start with almost any case. This collection brings together some of Christie’s most celebrated Poirot novels.
