THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES (1920)by Agatha ChristieSynopsis:  Agatha Christie’s first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was the result of a dare from her sister Madge who challenged her to write a story. The story begins when Hastings is sent back to England from the First World War due to injury and is invited to spend his sick leave at the beautiful Styles Court by his old friend John Cavendish. Here, Hastings meets John’s step-mother, Mrs Inglethorp, and her new husband, Alfred. Despite the tranquil surroundings Hastings begins to realise that all is not right. When Mrs Inglethorp is found poisoned, suspicion falls on the family, and another old friend, Hercule Poirot, is invited to investigate. My review: We witness Poirot’s first case in the series and it’s so amazing. This is one of my favorite Agatha’s books who gives us a nice full of mystery, plot twists and conspiracies read. I love the way the story goes and it’s fantastic how Poirot’s mind works and catches the killer with a surprising final reveal.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- source link
