Synopsis

Agatha Christie’s first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was the result of a dare from her sister Madge who challenged her to write a story. The story begins when Hastings is sent back to England from the First World War due to injury and is invited to spend his sick leave at the beautiful Styles Court by his old friend John Cavendish. Here, Hastings meets John’s step-mother, Mrs Inglethorp, and her new husband, Alfred. Despite the tranquil surroundings Hastings begins to realise that all is not right. When Mrs Inglethorp is found poisoned, suspicion falls on the family.

Classic and must read if you call yourself a crime addict :)

An exciting array of whodunnit short, novella and longer stories featuring mainly her sleuth Hercule Poirot to tickle your interest. A cerebral read without the violence and gun fights to stir things along. A nice change from all the mayhem that you see on TV and hear on the radio today

My favorite fiction author. Great start for mystery fiction readers!

Ever since I discovered my grandparents Agatha Christie books at the age of 8-9 I've been a British murder mystery fan. Sadly I lost my entire Christie collection (all 80 books & plays) so it was nice to read these and relieve a more innocent time in my life

Quite a complicated mystery, as usual with Agatha Christie.

For a first book, it's already well formed in most ways including the style and weapons used by Agatha Christie in her works. There's a slight whiff of the duo - Poirot and Hastings - being a takeoff, but the characters are so different from those of Holmes and his companion.
