A sudden death in a grand English manor shatters the calm of village life, drawing suspicion on a household full of secrets. When wealthy Emily Inglethorp is found poisoned in her bedroom, the case appears unsolvable-locked doors, broken alibis, and conflicting testimonies all cloud the truth. Into this intrigue steps Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian detective with unmatched deductive skills. As he unravels each lie and hidden motive, Poirot exposes not only the murderer but also the fragile ties holding the family together. First published in 1920, The Mysterious Affair at Styles marked the debut of Hercule Poirot, establishing one of literature's most enduring detectives. With its ingenious puzzles, carefully placed red herrings, and psychological insight, the novel laid the foundation for Agatha Christie's unparalleled career. It also helped define the golden age of detective fiction, setting a new standard for mystery storytelling that continues to influence the genre today.
