Title: Peril House - Agatha Christie - book
Summary :
A heavy painting falls off the headboard of a bed. A rock tumbles down a cliff and crashes onto the path. A car's brakes fail on a descent... And finally, a stray bullet lodges in a hat! For Hercule Poirot, vacationing on the south coast of England, there's little doubt: someone wants the life of the lovely Miss Buckley, heiress to a dilapidated villa nearby. Even if the woman in question opens her eyes wide, wondering who could possibly want to kill her. The murder of her cousin, who has obviously been mistaken for her, will force Miss Buckley to take the detective's fears seriously. He will relentlessly try to unmask the culprit. But only a very clever staging will allow him to succeed. And the surprise will be a big one.
