The Mysterious Affair at Styles | Hercule Poirot Mysteries, Book One

Welcome to The Cozy Mystery Book Club! Manon, aka the viral mystery reader sensation, joins Angela live for a fun discussion of Agatha Christie's first Hercule Poirot tale.

📖 The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Hercule Poirot Book One) 📖

A refugee of the Great War, Poirot has settled in England near Styles Court, the country estate of his wealthy benefactor, the elderly Emily Inglethorp. When Emily is poisoned and the authorities are baffled, Poirot puts his prodigious sleuthing skills to work. Suspects are plentiful, including the victim’s much younger husband, her resentful stepsons, her longtime hired companion, a young family friend working as a nurse, and a London specialist on poisons who just happens to be visiting the nearby village. All of them have secrets they are desperate to keep, but none can outwit Poirot as he navigates the ingenious red herrings and plot twists that contribute to Agatha Christie's well-deserved reputation as the queen of mystery.
