Format:Taschenbuch
"The Mysterious Affair at Styles" was Agatha ChristieÂ's first crime novel. Written in 1916, thus at the middle of First World War, it depicts a (meanwhile also historically interesting) picture of that age. Though IÂ'm afraid to admit it shows the latent anti-Semitism of that time which time and again shines trough at ChristieÂ's elder books. Otherwise this first Christie-crime is a typical exponent of his genre. A wealth elder woman was murdered and the question after the murderer breaks but everybody is a possibility more or less. Till to the solution you are constantly led on other trails.
One and other things however are to complain at her first novel, thus the plot is a bit badly structured, the author actually doesnÂ't give a chance to unmask the offender oneself and the solution goes quite complicated.
But the story is written well and especially the persons of Hercule Poirot and Hastings are outstandingly introduced and described. Result: in spite of light weak points an absolute classic !

Format:Taschenbuch
The first novel ever by the queen of mysteries is elegently done and contains a colorful and sort of exotic plot and characters, introducing her famous detective Poirot. But the story drags, only a bit, in the middle but the very end is fast paced and a sheer surprise. It may not be her best novel but this is a great one.
