The Mysterious Affair at Styles, published in 1920, was Agatha Christie’s first crime novel and the first outing for her world famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.
When Arthur Hastings is injured during World War One and sent back to England, his old friend John Cavendish invites him to recuperate at his country house, Styles Court. Despite the beautiful surroundings, Hastings detects that all is not well amongst the inhabitants of the house. His suspicions are confirmed when John’s wealthy step-mother, Emily Inglethorp, is found dead in her bedroom; she has been poisoned and the door is locked from the inside. Who could have murdered her and how did they do it? Hastings calls on his old friend Hercule Poirot to uncover the truth of this baffling crime.
This edition features an introduction by Barry Forshaw.
