Peril at End House

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman. But then she had led an unusual life. 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.

Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick’s sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection. At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn’t been committed. Yet.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The actual solution is quite unusually ingenious." (Times Literary Supplement)

So did not expect that ending

Some times I get who it was that did it, but not this one ... an ending that I didn't expect ... was an interesting book to listen too ... well worth the money.

Classic Christie

Tight plot, excellent narration, great sense of time and place. Thoroughly recommend if you love Agatha Christie.

A Sting in the Tale!

What other book might you compare Peril at End House to and why?

This is Agatha Christie at her very best! A wonderful mind bender that keeps one guessing!

Which scene was your favorite?

Poirot's final summing up, always surprising, this time he outdid himself.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

In book full of twists, turns, liars and cheats, I was more manipulated than moved. Great fun. This is a wonderful story, well read by Hugh Fraser.

Charming characters, wonderfully narrated

What made the experience of listening to Peril at End House the most enjoyable?

Hugh Fraser's narration is so immersive and endearing that it's hard not to be engrossed in the story.

Which character – as performed by Hugh Fraser – was your favorite?

Freddie Rice!

Very enjoyable listen, Narrator excellent,

Where does Peril at End House rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As a recent member I was impressed by the quality and versatility of the Narration. The story was a typical Agatha Christie, and I still couldn't guess "who did it"

What other book might you compare Peril at End House to and why?

I have not listened to many stories yet, other than Sherlock Holmes, and they both have been good so it is difficult to compare them.

Which scene was your favorite?

I was caught into all of the scenes, but I think the a scene in the last chapter caught my imagination the most.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

not really, as Murder Mysteries, don't tend to be that way inclined

Any additional comments?

Just a very good way to occupy ones time when one is busy with hand work, most enjoyable, the work just gets done.!!!!
