The fact that this is Christie's first novel out of the 80 she wrote has left me in awe of her. The character of Hercule Poirot is original and unique considering the book was published in 1920. The story is a perfect mystery with a locked room, many suspects and twisty reveals. Our narrator, Hastings, is visiting the once majestic manor, Styles Court, home to his friend John Cavendish while he is recuperating from a wound suffered in WWI. During the early hours of the morning John's mother suffers convulsions and dies. It is concluded that she was poisoned. Hastings, who considers himself an amateur sleuth, contacts his friend retired Inspector Hercule Poirot to help solve the case. Once Poirot enters the picture we know we are in for a fun time of sleuthing and misleads. I am a huge fan of 1800s and early 1900s classic English novels. This book is a prime example why they are my guilty pleasure. Christie's descriptive prose paints a perfect scene. It is like watching a book instead of reading it. Then there is the overall politeness of the language. Even during arguments, trial litigation, and threats never is a bad word said and titles are always used as a courtesy. It is pure posh English and I am so here for it! The genius of Hercule Poirot is a testament to Christie's creativity. I clearly see his influence in other detectives that followed him from Sam Spade to Columbo. I had such fun reading this mystery. I changed my mind several times on who was guilty. I screamed of course when the real culprit came to light. If you enjoy a good crime novel treat yourself to this classic who-dun-it! Review: Exciting mystery of Love and Deception - This is my first intro to Poirot. Love him. Such a funny character. Not much a fan of Hastings, is he his Watson? I liked the happy ending of the couples and the “clever” criminals ended up looking stupid. I was completely lost on the clues. I was not picking up what was being laid down. It was a fun ride though. Probably won’t read more Poirot’s unless I have someone to discuss them with. (This one was chosen by my book club) Overall short and fun read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,505 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #508 in Traditional Detective Mysteries (Books) #947 in Private Investigator Mysteries (Books) #1,503 in Mystery Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (671) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.47 x 8 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1734452595 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1734452594 | | Item Weight | 7.7 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 185 pages | | Publication date | January 2, 2020 | | Publisher | Warbler Classics | ## Images ![The Mysterious Affair at Styles: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Warbler Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C45y0VYUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Fun Twisty Mystery *by L***N on September 30, 2020* The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie is a joy to read if you love mysteries.
