In her first published mystery, Agatha Christie introduces readers to the heroic detective, Hercule Poirot. This is a classic murder mystery set in the outskirts of Essex. The victim is the wealthy mistress of Styles Court. The list of suspects is long and includes her gold-digging new spouse and stepsons, her doctor, and her hired companion.
Hercule Poirot's perfectly waxed moustache and "little grey cells" have become as emblematic as the pipe of Sherlock Holmes. Discover or re-discover...
Clever, witty, entertaining, murder has never been so much fun as in these classic mysteries.
