Famous belgian detective Hercule Poirot is on the loose again. This time around a murder has accured at Styles Court, where poor Mrs. Inglethorp has been poisoned.

BR with Marco and Kayl on February 11th :)This is Agatha Christie's debut novel and frankly, that boggles my mind, because it's so clever! I mean, she did get entitled Queen of Crime for a reason. The Mysterious Affair at Styles was a delight to read, and while the clues were there all along, I woul...
I just love Agatha Christie. There definitely is a reason she is said to be the "queen of crime". The writing and plotting was elegant and flawless. There was a lot of humor and the story unfolded before the reader's eyes with some surprising twists - but always with the facepalm-moment of "I sho...

I loved this book! I love how she takes the main character who is everyone obvious suspect, the red h...
It was interesting reading this again after my reread of the classic Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories. This isn't just the first Hercule Poirot novel, it's Agatha Christie's first novel, and when it was published in 1920, Arthur Conan Doyle was still alive and still publishing Holmes stori...
The Mysterious Affair at Styles was Agatha Christie’s first novel, published in 1920. I have to admit that for a first novel it was pretty impressive!The story seems to be quite simple and the obvious is suddenly questioned, the suspect count rises and the real murderer is unnoticed, until Hercule P...
