  Crooked House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crooked House (published in 1949) is a whodunnit novel by Agatha Christie.
The obvious suspects are Brenda Leonides herself, no longer willing to wait for her inheritance, and Laurence Brown, a conscientious objector who also lives in the house as private tutor to Eustace and Josephine, Sophia's younger brother and sister.
Roger, the eldest son and always Aristide's favourite, is a failure as businessman and has steered the catering business bestowed to him by his father to the brink of bankruptcy; his wife Clemency, an austere-looking scientist, has never been able to enjoy the wealth offered by her husband's family.

PERIL AT END HOUSE is an example of Christie's creativeness with one of the rules of mystery writing (but you'll have to read the book to find out which rule).
The ending is clever and we are treated to Poirot being forced to ask someone else for the answer to a minor secondary puzzle.
Peril at End House is not among the more famous of the Hercule Poirot mysteries but it is still a good example of Agatha Christie's work.

 BBC Shop - Agatha Christie: Peril At End House
Wandering along the terrace of the Hotel Majestic on the first morning of their stay, Poirot literally falls at the feet of a pretty, dark-haired girl and, much to Hastings’ delight, insists that she join them for a cocktail.
The girl is Nick Buckley, last in a long line of Buckleys to live at End House, an isolated old place perched on the end of a rocky outcrop.
As she reassures the two friends that living there is more fun than it might seem, Poirot’s ears prick up — she is having fun, Nick says, despite the fact that she has had three near-fatal accidents in the past few days.
