The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie



Agatha Christie's very first mystery novel introduced the character of her most famous detective, the round-headed, precise little Belgian Hercule Poirot, with a plot in what would become her classic style: A weathly elderly lady is poisoned at her country house full of relatives and guests, many of whom had motives for wishing her out of the way, and Poirot must determine the culprit in time to save an innocent man.

A free edition is not currently available for Kindle. Note that the Project Gutenberg edition does contain the illustrations helpful to the plot: a diagram of a house and a scrap of handwriting (if you select the "with images" version).
