The Mysterious Affair At Styles (Hercule Poirot, #1)
by

After having my interest peaked in Hercule Poirot (a character not well known to me) after reading about Belgium during World War 1 and then watching Murder On The Orient Express which plot I enjoyed a lot, I decided to give this a try and I was not disappointed!! Christie's writing style from the point of view of Hastings into the mystery of the murder is simply magnificent and from the beginning she makes everyone a suspect and keeps you guessing and wondering who committed the crime right until the end where Poirot brings it to light. Poirot is very interesting in his methods and seems mad at times through the eyes of Hastings and the last chapter in which Poirot tells how he came to his conclusions is well crafted. Highly recommended and this is a series I will continue with.

Sounds good JD. There was an excellent British tv series about Poirot between 1989 and 2013 as well. Christie was prolific.

Great review JD! I enjoy Christie's mysterys.
So glad you enjoyed, JD! Agatha Christie is probably my favorite author of all time! :)

Not my favourite protagonist. I gave four and five stars to Agatha's novels without Hercule in them.
Great review, JD! AC is brilliant from the very beginning, isn’t she? I loved this one, too, and Poirot is such a genius creation on her part.
