![]() ![]() I’ve got quite a few other Agatha Christie books, but I’m the type of person who has to read from the first published book otherwise it makes me feel all sick and funny, but I’m very happy to have finally gotten to Agatha Christie’s debut novel, and will hopefully be reading all the rest for a long time to come! Keep on reading for my thoughts on this great mystery and my first meeting with the famous Hercule Poirot!Īgatha Christie’s debut novel was the first to feature Hercule Poirot, her famously eccentric Belgian detective.Ī refugee of the Great War, Poirot is settling in England near Styles Court, the country estate of his wealthy benefactress, the elderly Emily Inglethorp. I received The Mysterious Affair At Styles for Christmas by my mother-in-law, but unfortunately, it was an abridged version for non-native speakers (a strange edition to pick as I’m British but oh well) and it has taken me this long to actually get my hands on a proper edition and read it. My first book review for August is a really exciting one for me! I have wanted to read the Agatha Christie books for years, and I have heard so many great things about all of them for so long. “Sometimes I feel sure he is as mad as a hatter and then, just as he is at his maddest, I find there is a method in his madness.” – The Mysterious Affair At Styles Published: 4 th of June 2004 – HarperCollins (first published in October 1920) Title: The Mysterious Affair At Styles (#1 Hercule Poirot) ![]()
