The Mysterious Affair At Styles: Agatha Christie

A mysteriously destroyed will, a shattered coffee cup, a splash of candle grease, and old envelope..and a newly planted bed of begonias. Such were the seemingly unrelated details surrounding the murder of wealthy Mrs Inglethorp, mistress of Styles Court. Small matters to most but intriguing enough to feed the curiosity of Hercule Poirot as - with a thoroughness that would become legendary - the methodical little Belgian detective began his first investigation.
