The Mysterious Affair at Styles Agatha Christie — The extreme interest stimulated in people in general by what was known at the time as “The Styles Case” has now fairly died down. All things considered, in perspective on the overall reputation which went to it, I have been inquired, both by my companion Poirot and the actual family, to compose a recordof the entire story. This, we trust, will viably quiet the thrilling tales which actually endure.I will therefore briefly set down the circumstances which led to mybeing connected with the affair.Poirot, a Belgian refugee of the Great War, is settling in England near the home of Emily Inglethorp, who helped him to his new life. His friend Hastings arrives as a guest at her home. When the woman is killed, Poirot uses his detective skills to solve the mystery. The first book of the “Hercule Poirot” series, The Mysterious Affair at Styles is a masterpiece of mystery and a must-have for all who love a great story!

Quotes

  • Divina Sethihas quoted7 years ago
    “Cynthia,” called Mrs. Inglethorp, “do you think you could write a few notes for me?”
    “Certainly, Aunt Emily.”
    She jumped up promptly, and something in her manner reminded me that her position was a dependent one, and that Mrs. Inglethorp, kind as she might be in the main, did not allow her to forget it.

      She beamed fondly at him, as he substituted another with every demonstration of the tenderest care. Strange infatuation of an otherwise sensible woman!

        “My wife, Hastings,” said John.
        I shall never forget my first sight of Mary Cavendish. Her tall, slender form, outlined against the bright light; the vivid sense of slumbering fire that seemed to find expression only in those wonderful tawny eyes of hers, remarkable eyes, different from any other woman’s that I have ever known; the intense power of stillness she possessed, which nevertheless conveyed the impression of a wild untamed spirit in an exquisitely civilized body—all these things are burnt into my memory. I shall never forget them.
        She greeted me with a few words of pleasant welcome in a low clear voice, and I sank into a basket chair feeling distinctly glad that I had accepted John’s invitation.
