“Agatha Christie’s older sister challenged her to write a mystery, and this country-house poisoning is where it led. It still plays fair with every clue, more than a century on.”
Where it all began: Agatha Christie's first novel, and Poirot's debut.
The Mysterious Affair at Styles is a country house murder mystery that introduces the detective Hercule Poirot.
Captain Hastings, sent home wounded from the First World War, is recovering at Styles Court with his old friend John Cavendish. Then Mrs Inglethorp, the lady of the house, is found poisoned, and suspicion falls on the family around her. Another old friend of Hastings, a Belgian detective with a very orderly mind, is called in to find out what happened.
