Peril at End House (Poirot)

Product Information

I can hardly express the gratitude I feel to him. He could so easily have uttered a few careless words of well-justified criticism and possibly discouraged me for life. As it was, he set out to help.”

The character of Freddie Rice's husband is omitted. Because this character does not appear in this adaptation, the note demanding money, which is a clue found at End House in the novel, and which is revealed to be from him, also does not appear. Facsimile edition (Facsimile of 1932 UK first edition), 2 April 2007, Hardcover, 256 pp ISBN 0-00-723439-2 Este libro ha resultado un poco diferente al resto que he leído del detective Hércules Poirot. Empezando por el hecho de que no se ha realizado ningún crimen y deben impedir, contra todo pronóstico (Poirot y el ex-intenso de Hastings) que este hecho suceda.Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan. The best Agatha Christie novel I've read in a long time. Not simply because the mystery is so deliciously confusing and leaves Poirot 50 different shades of puzzled, not because we get to see a much more human and emotional Poirot, but very much because it has such a dazzling cast of characters, and reminded me more than anything of Paris in the 1920's. Years since I’ve seen you, Moosior Poirot. Thought you were growing vegetable marrows in the country.’ In the novel, the Crofts were wanted by Scotland Yard for forgery. In this adaptation, they did forge the will, but there is no mention of any previous forgeries. Eden Phillpotts critiqued both the book and other examples of Agatha Christie’s writing, with helpful advice to the young author:

My summer of Agatha Christie mysteries continues. I have long read mysteries in between denser reads or after a weekend letdown as palette cleansers so that I do not fall into the proverbial reading slump. I have realized that I also read mysteries because I enjoy fitting clues together like a puzzle in my attempt to solve the case before the detective. I do have my preferred series and favorite detectives that I return to again and again, and Hercule Poirot is one of them. I have come to appreciate the Belgian sleuth as one would a doting older relative albeit one who happens to be the most famous detective in the world. On the heels of solving the mystery of the blue train, Poirot heads for a seaside vacation at St. Loo. As usual, murder seems to find him.Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu! Agatha does it again. I did not expect to enjoy this one as much as I did but it ended up getting 5 stars from me and adding it to my favorite Christie books. Colonel Weston had been omitted from the adaptation and Miss Lemon added. This episode was filmed in Salcombe, Devon near Agatha Christie's home town of Torquay, rather than on the Cornish Coast where the story is set. Transposed from Devon to Cornwall, the Majestic Hotel of the book is based on the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. [6] Perhaps it is amusing and droll, but it is barbed and rather unkind. It invites us to share a snide remark at the rather stolid Hastings’s expense. The following instance is not even amusing: During the seance at End House, Miss Lemon acts as the medium, while in the novel, Hastings acted as the medium.
