Information about “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” from Amazon:
“The Mysterious Affair at Styles was Christie’s first published novel, introducing Hercule Poirot, Inspector (later, Chief Inspector) Japp, and Arthur Hastings. Poirot, a Belgian refugee of the Great War, is settling in England near the home of Emily Inglethorp, who helped him to his new life. His friend Hastings arrives as a guest at her home. When the woman is killed, Poirot uses his detective skills to solve the mystery. This is also the setting of Curtain, Poirot’s last case. The book includes maps of the house, the murder scene, and a drawing of a fragment of a will.”
Information about “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” from AgathaChristie.com:
“2020 marked 100 years since the publication of Agatha Christie’s first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles – the book that introduced Hercule Poirot to the world.
Christie came up with the idea for the novel whilst working in a dispensary during WWI.
The story was completed in 1916 but not published until February 1920, when it was serialised in 18 parts in The Weekly Times (part of The Times). It was published in the US in October 1920, then in the UK in January 1921.”
