Recently, there had been some strange goings on at Styles St Mary. Evelyn, constant companion to old Mrs Inglethorp, had stormed out of the house muttering something about "a lot of sharks". And with her, something indefinable had gone from the atmosphere. Her presence had spelt security; now the air seemed rife with suspicion and impending evil.
This Christie mystery is a must read for every fan of the detective genre. It doesn’t really matter what the story is or what the characters are like. It is important because it marks the genesis of an author and her creation. Both would one day become world-famous. That’s what really matters and that is why I appreciate The Mysterious Affair at Styles.
