The Mysterious Affair at Styles Audiobook

" I love eccentric detectives so when I went looking for more Agatha Christie I decided to start at the beginning with Hercule Poirot. He is endearing and brilliant and developed enough to make up for the lack in the other characters, who are there mostly to support the plot, which kept surprising me even when I thought it was over. "

" Kind of predictable. Loved getting the story from Hastings' often mistaken point of view. "

" My first Agatha Christie novel. It was good but not great. My epectations were a bit too high. Still I was satisfied with the plot twist at the end. "

" Nope, couldn't guess the killer. "

" I like everything Agatha Christie! "

" As always, Agatha Christies' murder mystery is as brilliantly conceived as they are brilliantly unraveled to the reader. "

" I have read three books of Agatha Christie and all of them end up with weddings!! Never mind, I like the book and especially the fact that the reader can't realise who is the "bad guy", until the end of the book. It has much suspense... "

" I enjoyed solving as the story progressed. Instead of just learning whodunnit and who-didn't-dunnit all at the end. I was given plenty of time to revise theories. "

" I loved Agatha Christie and I loved this book as well! When I finished it I found a list of her works in the back and it has inspired me to read every one of her mystery novels, in order :) "

" 3.5 stars. A nice introduction to Agatha Christie and to Poirot. "

" not the best poirot's book, but it's the first so definitely recommended! "

" I read this book and it was good. It was about a woman who was murdered with poison. It was part of a cleverly concealed plan to get her money. But they did not count on Hercule Poirot. "

" I read this over a couple weeks. I think Agatha Christie books probably need to be read in a much shorter time period. I couldn't remember all the finite details and had a hard time following how the murder was solved. "

" the first agatha fiction i've read. "

" A nice little conventional mystery. The twist was guessable without being predictable, and was just enough different from what I expected to make it interesting. Definitely an enjoyable read. "

" An easy quick read. Apparently the first of the Hercule Poirot books. Enjoyable read, but I do not feel inclined to read any other books of the series. At least now I know that Christie's actual Poirot is not so annoying and irritating as the popular BBC TV version. "

" In this book, "The Queen of Crime Fiction" introduced the other famous fictional detective - H. Poirot, the quirky little ex-policeman from Belgium. Now in the public domain, a free electronic copy of the mystery is available here. "

" Solid. I pseudo-figured it out, but couldn't really make all the details add up. "

" I enjoyed listening to this book. There were many people among those who were suspected of the murder. It was interesting how the clues came together to find those responsible. "

" I think I have liked the other Agatha Christie books better than this one. It is my first Poirot book to read. I loved the Miss Marple ones. "

" The narrator was purposely an unreliable narrator (he was a complete idiot and very full of himself, which skewed his opinion on things), but it made the novel somewhat irritating to read. "

" I do so love Poirot. And I love the fact that Christie can keep me guessing even though I had this feeling I'd seen this as a BBC tv show. Bless her little writier's heart. "

" It was my first Agatha Christie. I now understand what people are talking about when they say that all is revealed at the end with everyone gathered around. All in all I liked the book. It didn't blow me away, but I will read more in this series. "

" the first agatha fiction i've read. "

" One of the best surprise endings ever! "

" I believe this is her first published novel. I enjoyed it but it wasn't quite as good as some of her others I've read. "

" My first Agatha Christie. Cleverly plotted. "

" Enjoyable read. Having heard the snobbery surrounding Christie's alleged flat prose and implausible plots, I decided to find out for myself. Whilst I wouldn't recommend her for her descriptive prose (unlike, say, Lindsey Davis), her ear for dialogue and mastery of plot are superb. "

" Read it in one day at work for book group. Haven't done that in ages, but it was Halloween and a slow day on the children's desk. Had to write down all the names and relationships in the beginning to keep it all straight, but was a fun read. "

" Good to read an Agatha Christie book again. It had been many years. I must say I like several of her other books better than this one :) "

" I highly recommend this book, I love Agitha Christy! This was one of her best in my opinion, the characters truly came to life. It was a real page turner. "

" I am surprised how much I enjoyed this story. I believe this is the actual first Agatha Christie story with Hercule Poirot. "

" I am surprised how much I enjoyed this story. I believe this is the actual first Agatha Christie story with Hercule Poirot. "

" First Poirot. Even for a first, Poirot is already Poirot. Read entirely on Kindle. "

" Great book with amazing twists and turns... with everything explained by Poirot at the end... "

" I listened to the audio book read by B.J. Harrison and really enjoyed this. I didn't think I would, since I don't really like mysteries as a rule, but this one was well-written and somewhat fast-paced. I was *close* as to who the bad person was, but not quite. "

" Checked this out because it was free on Kindle... actually my first Agatha Christie book. Convoluted plot but the book kept my attention. Typical whodunit... and it reminds you that the basic formula hasn't changed in nearly 100 years! "

" Really enjoed Hercule Poirot and Hastings. Hope to read all of them. "

" I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Normally I am not a huge fan of murder mysteries, but Agatha Christie has a way about her writing that is somehow irresistible. And I did not see the solution coming, though after the reveal it made total sense. In a word: Brilliant! "

" I probably read this 100 years ago, but it was free on the i-book reader and I wanted to try it out. Really liked the digital experience, probably more than the actual book! "

" A typical Agatha Christie Poirot mystery. Very British and very dated. The female character is a twit who can't seem to figure out who her true love is. "

" It was an enjoyable, quick read. It's only my second "Poirot" mystery at this point, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about him. "

" Great story- Poirot is first introduced. Stories like these make you realize why Agatha Christie is the number one read author!!! "

" One of my favorite authors, Agatha Christie always provides a good mystery and a good read. Engaging characters, twisting plots, and a lot of humor. This was one of the first books of hers that I read and it made me a lifelong fan. "

" I love Agatha Christie. I love all her books and her stories. This one is smart intelligent and sink your teeth into. It is amazing! "
