| | The terrace is where all the mystery plot takes place; the lawn is the locus of the characters' personal relationships, and the gate is where Poirot arrives and then leaves at the end - it is a site of his intervention - and salvation of the characters. | | | The solution of the story as a mystery is much more ordinary; it draws on one of Chesterton's most famous tales, but does not augment it. | | | This is the essential plotting style of the Old Man stories to a T. Christie's ingenious solution to the mystery also recalls Orczy's ingenious twist answers. |

| | The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie, 0007119275, Lowest Book Price Finder |
| | Readers everywhere are grateful to the sister of Agatha Christie for placing a bet with her, claiming that the woman that nowadays is known as the Queen of Mystery would not be able to write a good detective story. | | | I was attracted to Agatha Christie through a TV documentary saying that her style of writing was perfect for pleasure if you are feeling a bit low. | | | First of all, this is a good murder mystery, which definitely deserves a strong 4 out of 5, and I recommend it to anyone interested in this genre. |

| | Our first look at the engaging Poirot; interesting plot twists; Christie's wit | | | Styles may not be Christie's most intricately plotted novel, nor her darkest and most intriguing, but it's well done and deserves pride of place for what it is: her first novel, Poirot's first case, and a fun and entertaining "cozy" mystery in its own right. | | | Poirot's character is memorable from the get-go in the case at Styles, and only became more so as Christie developed him in a total of 33 novels and stories over the next fifty-five years. |
