THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES

---

by Agatha Christie (1921)

---

A loud argument. A fragment of a burnt document. A door bolted shut. A carpet stain. A defective bell. And poison. These are the seemingly unrelated clues that Hercule Poirot must either piece together or explain away as he investigates the apparent murder by poisoning of Mrs Inglethorp. But who would want to kill Mrs Inglethorp and why? As Poirot methodically works his way through a lengthy list of suspects and alibis, he finally hits upon a very clever scheme that involves murder. Now Poirot must find the last link that ties it all together. Fiction. 258 pages.
