Editorial Reviews
“Though this may be the first public book of Miss Agatha Christie, she
betrays the cunning of an old hand…You may safely make a wager
with yourself that until you have heard M. Poirot’s final word on the
mysterious affair at Styles, you will be kept guessing at its full
solution and will certainly never lay down this most entertaining book.” —New York Times Book Review, 1920
“The only fault this story has is that it is almost too ingenious.” —Times Literary Supplement
“Characteristic Christie cunning and subtle deception—Poirot scintillates.” —Saturday Review
“The story is, especially for a first adventure in fiction, very well contrived, and that the solution of the mystery is the result of logical deduction. The story, moreover, has no lack of movement, and the several characters are well drawn.” —British Weekly
