Salah satu kasus favoritku dari Agatha Christie. Sederhana tapi menyimpan kejutan di akhir. Jujur, terkecoh bahkan tidak pernah terpikir ending pelakunya, bahkan Poirotpun dikecoh oleh pelakunya.

It was a slower paced mystery that I didn’t feel let that reader solve the mystery as Poirot stepped in the explain everything quite often during the book.

I really enjoyed this Agatha Christie Poirot story. I found that I was left hanging until the very end and I wasn’t able to figure out the murderer too early. It makes for much more of an enjoyable listen.

One of Agatha's better structured story plots.

Poirot is vacationing with his good friend, Hastings. While enjoying the sun, he is approached by a young woman, Nick Buckley. She is a part of the flapper crowd but is scared. There have been a few too many accidents and she is worried that one of them might eventually kill her. And a death does occur at End House, the giant, crumbling mansion that Nick loves. But it is not her. Poirot is irate and determined that no more people should die.
The ending is a little convoluted as can happen with Christie but overall a delightful book.
