Peril at End House (published in 1932) is a whodunnit mystery novel by Agatha Christie, featuring her famous character Hercule Poirot, as well as Arthur Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp. It was the seventh novel featuring Poirot.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Poirot's vacation in Cornwall takes a sinister turn when the charming Nick Buckley meets him and casually mentions that she's narrowly escaped death three times in as many days. Poirot is not so sure about the presumed accidents and has his worries confirmed when Nick's cousin Maggie is shot dead while getting a coat.

That orderly mind of Poirot makes a list of the all the people concerned..but doesn't realise until a while that he's left out an important character - the murderer.
