The debut novel of the indomitable Dame Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles introduced the world to the incredible deductive skills of the debonair Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. This new, annotated edition features the original work and a biography of the writer. When Arthur Hastings, invalided from the war, goes to stay at Styles Court at the invitation of his old friend John Cavendish, he is entirely unaware of the drama that awaits him.Styles Court is owned by John’sstepmother, passed to her upon his father’sdeath in a will that seemed very unfair to him and his brother Lawrence. Nevertheless, the elderly Mrs. Emily Inglethorp has been nothing but fair to her stepsons. That is, until, much to the surprise of Hastings and the disgust of her children and those nearest and dearest to her, she chose to marry Alfred Inglethorp, a man at least twenty years her junior.Things were, therefore, rather more tense at Styles Court than Hastings had foreseen and unfortunately became even more so when Mrs. Inglethorp was murdered just days after his arrival!Fortuitously, residing in the nearby village of Styles St. Mary is a certain Belgian refugee by the name of Hercule Poirot, whose masterful skills of deduction will be put to the test to discover the murderer.
