Just a word of caution if it matters to anyone, but this publication is presented in a book that is as big as a notebook (like 8.5x11). It's also missing diagrams that are mentioned in the book. If I somehow missed the measurements then that's on me...but I never thought I had to think about it.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles A Hercule Poirot Mystery Hercule Poirot Mysteries Agatha Christie 9781579126223 Books Reviews

This is the second Hercule Poirot book that I have read, and-actually-the first that Agatha Christie wrote. I love Hercule Poirot's thoughtful way of approaching "suspects" and the simple way that he seems to make hypothesis and prove and disprove his "little ideas" through questioning and common sense. In both stories I have read so far, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, and The Halloween Party, there is another character trying to piece together the evidence and come up with a solution. Poirot leads them step by step, but neither is able to come up with the correct solution. I felt a little more confident with my ability in the Halloween Party than I did with Affair at Styles. I went down all kinds of garden paths on this one. Christie's writing style is very readable, and her sense of humor is marvelous. I can't wait to read more of her Poirot books. I think I am going to take notes on the next one I read, and see how many suspects I can prove or disprove!
Reviewing this published edition, not the actual book. This edition is HORRIBLE. It's a very low budget print-to-order book. The type is ALL center-spaced, which is virtually unreadable, and there are no page numbers. cranks out really cheap editions like this and sells them like regular books. At this price, you expect a professional paperback publication. Get this book in a different edition.
First I would like to say the this book, like all of Christie's work, is phenomenal. I debated for a long time as to how to rate this book. My reason for rating this only 1 star is to warn other potential readers that this version has some major flaws. There are at least a dozen times where sentences are repeated, which in and of itself is not so bad. However, there are just as many if not more times where all or most of a sentence is missing. It's very confusing to come across a random word or to have a detail referred to, only to go back and discover that original detail is not there. I am sure there will be folks who are ticked off by this review but if I had known this before purchasing I would have looked for a different version.
My comments are not about the novel, but about this edition....the diagrams and pictures which are apparently critical to solving the puzzle are missing. I am only 25% of the way in, but have already missed 4 drawings - 2 diagrams of the layout, a picture of a clue fragment, etc., which Christie felt were important to include. I peeked at the end to see if they were there, and there is a photo of Christie and other info, but not the missing clues. I'd recommend trying one of the other editions.
Just a word of warning to read the reviews before purchasing this. I bought the paperback version and there are a number of issues with it. Other versions may not have the same issues.

-First of all the cover art looks as though they took a jpg version of the original cover art and expanded it and it looks very shoddy and pixelated.

-The binding misspelled Agatha Christie's name and shows 'Agatha Christe' as well as the title of the book as 'Mysterious affair at styles' Capitalizing only the word 'mysterious' with the rest of the words uncapitalized. Despite the name of the book being 'The Mysterious Affair At Styles' the word 'the' is, for some reason, left out.

- There are no page numbers

-All of the text in the book is center aligned which is kind of awkward to look at or read and can cause some confusion as to where paragraphs begin and end.

-The illustrations that are supposed to be included in the book are not here. They are somewhat essential to the experience of reading the book so just for that, I recommend finding a different version.

Other than these issues, this is the book it claims to be and you can read it. The book itself is great and I would highly recommend it, just not this version of it. If you are looking for an affordable copy and don't care too much about the rest then I guess this is fine.
Just a word of caution if it matters to anyone, but this publication is presented in a book that is as big as a notebook (like 8.5x11). It's also missing diagrams that are mentioned in the book. If I somehow missed the measurements then that's on me...but I never thought I had to think about it.
