Peril at End House by Agatha Christie’s starring John Moffat as Poirot
Dramatized by BBC with a whole cast playing different members of the cast so in affect this is not a pure audiobook but an audio play which helps since this is a murder mystery.
Listening length around 2 hours 12 minutes but it seems much less since the Audiobook is a part of a bigger collection of selected stories by Agatha Christie and all these stories feel like short stories which they are actually not!
The previous book was Poirot’s first book as Poirot while this starts as being the last! The same was also mentioned as the last in the novel The murder of Roger Ackroyd where it was mentioned that Poirot was retired and living in peace!
Here also Poirot and Captain Hastings are enjoying a quiet retired life when they see a lady who Poirot thinks is in trouble! And he employs a big show to meet and get involved with her affairs! She is the victim of several accidents or near accidents which she brushes off as mere coincidences but Poirot feels otherwise! Do not worry! The whole section was not a spoiler!
The whole twist lies in the end and it is something which you cannot guess in your wildest dreams unless you have read the same before!
In the series Breath season 2; they show that the person who kidnaps a girl from a family is actually the father itself! Only in that case the reason is that he is a victim of multiple personality!
Again do not worry, that is not a spoiler but it was to think of the scenarios of a murder! When a crime is committed, it is usually the spouse in case of husband or wife who is the prime suspect or the other prime suspect is the one who draws the least suspicion in the novel or narration!
Another twist can be the investigating officer or the cop being the culprit which also has been done and dusted by many!
Another twist can be the detective involved in the case being the culprit! That was the case in a novel called Curtain; Poirot’s last case!
all of the above are pretty awesome twist and just when you thought you cannot have another one then comes this novel!
Yes, this novel gives you the biggest twist of them all!
Read it just for the last five minutes of the novel in which you are presented with so many suspect and I am sure you would not guess the culprit
