Peril at End House

So . . . personally, this was more of a 3.5 for me. Not my favorite Poirot, I have to say. But it was still a very atmospheric and engaging mystery!

[slight spoilers ahead!] My big issue with the mystery is that I called the twist, partially–and I liked my explanation better, haha. (Perhaps I've read too many mysteries? xD) I had the murderer right, but was wrong on the motive. And, perhaps because I was so fixed on my version of events, the motive presented in the book didn't entirely make sense to me. It was the timing especially that gave me trouble.

In any case, I did like how the side characters' stories wrapped up, and I did very much enjoy the setting. It was worth reading, definitely, and probably my own lack of concentration that led to my concerns with the plot! ;)
