: The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Author: Agatha Christie
It’s been a long time since I’ve read this book, or any Agatha Christie for that matter. I forgot how literary she was — with mysteries one thinks primarily of plot, but this is a well written book. Compared to many Poirot novels this isn’t my favorite, but you keep reading to find out what and how Poirot solves the murder. Christie’s spoiled me for other mystery writers — I have yet to find any that even vaguely come close to her deft touch. She’s the best! There are a number of Christie books I bought but haven’t read; I really must dig them up and get reading. I love her mysteries, especially Poirot stories.
