About This Audiobook
While enjoying a seaside holiday in Cornwall, Hercule Poirot encounters Nick Buckley, the spirited owner of End House, a dramatic estate overlooking treacherous cliffs. When Nick casually mentions several recent close calls that nearly cost her life, Poirot's detective instincts sharpen. What others dismiss as unfortunate mishaps, the Belgian sleuth recognizes as deliberate attempts on the young woman's life. As Poirot investigates the shadows surrounding End House and its inhabitants, he races against time to unmask a determined killer before they succeed in their deadly mission.
Hugh Fraser brings his extensive experience as Captain Hastings from the Poirot television series to this masterful narration, lending authentic familiarity to Christie's world. His portrayal of Poirot captures the detective's distinctive mannerisms and sharp intellect without veering into caricature, while his rendering of the supporting characters gives each a distinct voice and personality. Fraser's measured pacing allows listeners to follow Poirot's deductive process naturally, making this classic puzzle mystery particularly satisfying in audio form. The atmospheric Cornish setting comes alive through his evocative delivery.
