How Is Hercule Poirot As A Character?įrankly, I like the two other books I’ve read starring Hercule Poirot much better. Hastings takes it upon himself to get assistance to solve the murder and lo and behold, Hercule Poirot just happens to be staying in a nearby town and agrees to lend his considerable detective skills to the case.

Inglethorp if not for possibly also standing to inherit. The prime suspects are John because he stands to inherit upon her death and Alfred, because why would a younger man be interested in Mrs. Also living in the house are Emily’s stepchildren from her Cavendish marriage – John Cavendish and Laurence Cavendish.Įmily is poisoned with strychnine, and so Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair At Styles goes in the direction of questioning who killed Emily. You see, the house he is staying at is owned by Emily Inglethorp, who was once Emily Cavendish but her husband died so she remarried this younger man named Alfred Inglethorp. While staying with the Cavendishes, a poisoning murder happens.


The Mysterious Affair At Styles is told from the point of view of Hastings, who, at the setting of this book which is World War I is home on sick leave from the Western front and staying as a house guest with the Cavendishes. Also - I had initially listened to this book the first time because I quite enjoyed And Then There Were None via audio and Murder On the Orient Express via ebook. I did not listen to it twice because of it being a great or amazing book, but because it had been sitting on my need to review Goodreads shelf for pretty much FOREVER and because it is so short and I remembered absolutely nothing from what happened, I decided to try listening to The Mysterious Affair At Styles again. First in January 2015 and now in March 2016.

The Mysterious Affair At Styles by Agatha Christie is an audiobook that I actually listened to twice. Why Did I Listen To The Mysterious Affair At Styles by Agatha Christie?
