“Complex yet plausible. A good read.”

“A classic Agatha Christie murder mystery, but didn't make me turn the pages in haste. She gives out clues easily overlooked, the details are all there until the reader is overwhelmed.”

“I recently printed out a list with all Agatha Christie's books and I have started to read them in order. This is the first one and I must say I didn't even expect it to be great. But it was! A magnificent work like she always does!

“Is this a great book? Not exactly. But then, why did I find myself reading it late into the night, turning page after page by the dim glow of the bedside lamp, and literally blowing through the leaves to find at last whodunnit—and how—and why? It's a brisk and intriguing read!

The Mysterious Affair at Styles is Agatha Christie's first novel. Published in 1920, it introduced the world to the genius of the foppish and persnickety Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. That'd be an entertaining experience all by itself, but there's a complex murder mystery—complete with stately British drawing rooms, boudoirs très privés , a smorgasbord of dangerous pharmaceuticals, and a lustful farmer's wife—thrown in to boot!
If you haven't read this archetypal classic of the genre, well... It's time!”
“Love Agatha and her characters. ”
