About this book

The Mysterious Affair at Styles is Agatha Christie's first published mystery novel and the book that introduced Hercule Poirot. First appearing in 1920, it established many of the pleasures that would define Christie's fiction: a closed circle of suspects, careful clues, and a brilliant detective at work.

This DotBooks edition presents the novel in a clean modern format that keeps the focus on Poirot's reasoning and Christie's elegant construction.
