		The Mysterious Affair at Styles was Hercule Poirot's first case, his introduction to the world by the now legendary mystery author Agatha Christie.
		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.
		Many of the characters surrounding the mystery at Styles are either wealthy aristocrats, servants to aristocrats, aristocratic wannabees, or somewhat decayed gentry wishing they could find a way to revamp their fortunes.

	"Poirot" The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1990) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Styles manor was certainly a place dear to the writer,for her first "Poirot" and her last one ("Curtain-Poirot's last case) in which the sleuth dies both take place there.
		That said "Styles" is not one of Poirot's best case,and Christie wrote at least twenty books which are superior to it.
		Interest lies somewhere else.This is the novel which tells us why Belgian Poirot wound up in fair England -which he somewhat despised- and it does not forget the historical background,with a fine depiction of the WW1 years.

		Given Hercule Poirot's prominence in the annals of mystery writing, it seems strange that except for his portrayal by Albert Finney in the star-studded movie version of "Murder on the Orient Express," for a long time there didn't seem to be any actor who could convincingly bring to life Agatha Christie's clever, dignified little Belgian.
		THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES is one of the longer Poirot tales (1 story, two 50 minute segments-merged), compared with the short stories (three stories, 50 minutes each) released in VHS format.
		THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES is one of the eariest Poirot tales, and like THE ABC MURDERS takes place in the English countryside Agatha Christie depicted so well from the 1920s to the 1950s.

		Here is the famous first case that launched the legendary career of Hercule Poirot and his ingenious creator Agatha Christie, now the most popular mystery writer of all time, as well as the world's best-selling author (over two billion copies of her books are in print).
		Styles Court is a magnificent English manor house owned by a rich, strong-willed matron who, to the dismay of her stepson, has recently married a fortune hunter.
		The murder of the mistress of Styles Court is so baffling, so cleverly-plotted, that it challenges even the skill of Hercule Poirot, notwithstanding the legions of tiny gray cells that take residence in his ever-so-fertile mind.

		He had been completely under his wife's ascendancy, so much so that, on dying, he left the place to her for her lifetime, as well as the larger part of his income; an arrangement that was distinctly unfair to his two sons.
		The village of Styles St. Mary was situated about two miles from the little station, and Styles Court lay a mile the other side of it.
		She was a pleasant-looking woman of about forty, with a deep voice, almost manly in its stentorian tones, and had a large sensible square body, with feet to match--these last encased in good thick boots.

		Mystery readers, often without knowing it, read this genre not for the ingenious plot but for the feel of place and for the characters.
		The detective works with his friend Hastings, who is staying at Styles, and he methodically interviews each person in the house to ascertain the identity of the killer.
		The first is the mystery within the mystery structure in which the obvious suspect ultimately turns out to be the guilty one, albeit with an unexpected accomplice.

		At the country-house called Styles Court, which lies outside the village of Styles St. Mary in Essex, resides a family riven by subtle tensions.
		He has not yet developed some of the eccentric mannerisms (such as the moustache wax and the mal-de-mer) with which Christie garlanded him in later works, and frankly I like him better for it -- he seems more like a person who has led a sufficiently interesting life, than a walking catalogue of nervous tics.
		Even after reading too many mediocre imitations, we should still be able to recognize a great and original classic when we see it.
