Agatha Christie wrote The Mysterious Affair at Styles during the midst of World War I. The book was published in 1920 and became extremely popular because of the well-grounded plot and interesting characters. The novel is set at Styles Court, a wealthy estate in England during the war. The estate's owner, Mrs. Cavendish, had inherited the estate as well as vast sums of money from her late husband.
She goes on and remarries Alfred Inglethorp, and they live together with Mr. Cavendish's two sons, John and Lawrence Cavendish. John's wife, Mary, and Cynthia Murdoch also reside at the lavish estate. Mrs. Cavendish, now called Mrs. Inglethorp, is surrounded by people who will inherit the money and estate upon her demise. Not surprisingly, she dies of poisoning, and foul play is suspected.
This mystery novel is filled with twists and turns that involve the inspector, Hercule Poirot, who must look for clues as to who was responsible for Mrs. Inglethorp's death. Since the crime might affect the carrying out of the will, Poirot is under pressure from the entire household to figure out the truth. But just before she died, Mrs. Inglethrop is heard arguing with someone and is rumored to have made another will that would overrule any previous wills. However, that will is nowhere to be found. Through ingenious reasoning and careful planning, the culprits are finally caught, all thanks to the inspector.

Geschichte
At the Man with a Load of Mischief, they found the dead body stuck in a keg of beer. At the Jack and Hammer, another body was stuck out on the beam of the pub’s sign, replacing the mechanical man who kept the time. Two pubs. Two murders. One Scotland Yard inspector called in to help. Detective Chief Inspector Richard Jury arrives in Long Piddleton and finds everyone in the postcard village looking outside of town for the killer. Except for one Melrose Plant. A keen observer of human nature, he points Jury in the right direction: into the darkest parts of his neighbors’ hearts...

Geschichte
Agatha Christie’s ‘most absorbing mystery’ – her own autobiography. Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christie’s readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography, written mainly in the 1960s, modestly ignores the fact that Agatha had become the best-selling novelist in history and concentrates on her fascinating private life.
