When the wealthy Mrs. Inglethorp is found dead in her country estate’s locked drawing‑room, suspicion falls on her husband and the household staff alike. Recently retired to Styles Court, Hercule Poirot is drawn into the case by his friend Captain Hastings, who witnessed Mrs. Inglethorp displaying a strange unease the very night she died. As Poirot’s “little grey cells” dissect conflicting alibis and cryptic clues—from a missing will to a curious puncture wound—each twist deepens the puzzle. With tensions rising and the murderer still at large, Poirot orchestrates a dramatic gathering to reveal how the killer turned a peaceful evening into a perfect crime. In The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie introduces her most brilliant detective in a masterful tale of secrets, betrayal, and deduction.
