One morning at Styles Court, an Essex country manor, the elderly owner is found dead of strychnine poisoning. Arthur Hastings, a soldier staying there on sick leave from the Western Front, ventures out to the nearby village of Styles St. Mary to ask for help from his friend Hercule Poirot, an eccentric Belgian inspector. Thus, in this classic whodunit, one of the most famous characters in detective fiction makes his debut on the world stage.

With a half dozen suspects who all harbour secrets, it takes all of Poirot's prodigious sleuthing skills to untangle the mysteryβ€”but not before the inquiry undergoes scores of spellbinding twists and surprises.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles contains the original illustrations and a detailed biography.
