More about this storyThis was Agatha Christie’s seventh Poirot book, written at the beginning of a particularly prolific period of her life as she finally began to accept that being an author was now her profession. It uses a variety of Christie’s best known techniques and the plot was described by The New York Times Book Review in 1932 as “diabolically clever”. Peril at End House was first published as a novel in 1932 by Dodd, Mead and Company in the US. It was later adapted for stage by Arnold Ridley in 1940 and opened at the Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End, with Francis L. Sullivan playing Poirot. In 1989 Vadim Derbenyov adapted the story for a Russian film version, titled Zagadka Endkhauza, starring Anatoliy Ravikovich as Poirot. More famously, it was adapted in 1990 for the TV series Agatha Christie’s Poirot with David Suchet in the title role. In 2007 a PC version of the story was developed; the player takes on the role of Poirot and explores both End House and the Cornwall Coast searching for clues. A graphic novel of the story was released by HarperCollins in 2008. An adaptation was made for French TV in 2009 for the series Les petits meurtres d’Agatha Christie. The episode was called La maison du peril and was only loosely based on the original story, removing the character of Poirot entirely. Did you know?
