Peril at End House

Average rating4.1
Hercule Poirot is vacationing on the Cornish coast when he meets Nick Buckley. Nick is the young and reckless mistress of End House, an imposing structure perched on the rocky cliffs of St. Loo.
Poirot quickly takes a particular interest in the young woman. Recently, she has narrowly escaped a series of life-threatening accidents. Something tells the Belgian sleuth that these so-called accidents are more than just mere coincidences or a spate of bad luck. Something like a bullet! It seems all too clear to him that someone is trying to do away with poor Nick, but who? And, what is the motive? In his quest for answers, Poirot must delve into the dark history of End House. The deeper he gets into his investigation, the more certain he is that the killer will soon strike again. And, this time, Nick may not escape with her life.

This is a good one. I remembered some of it (whether from a previous read or the adaptation, I don't know), but not enough to know where all it was going. I like the use of Poirot for other ends, the useage of names, the reveal. Very good.
It was irritating that I still remember the episode of Poirot :-D
Yeah, it was the butler. Sure, the butler did it. Yeah, yeah, Hercule, it was the butler. But of course, there's a reason, the butler did it. You know.
(No, it wasn't the butler. There isn't a butler in the book. Wasn't the maid, either. Stop trying to spoil the book for yourself. :-D)
Devious little story. Who is lying? The thing is that we are dropped hints all the time, but one doesn't see them as that, when one doesn't know the secret. I could see them so clearly, because I knew what they were revealing.
It's a good story.
