About this listen
Celebrating 100 years of Agatha Christie stories, The Mysterious Affair at Styles is Hercule Poirot’s first case, performed on audio by Captain Hastings actor Hugh Fraser.
‘Beware! Peril to the detective who says: “It is so small – it does not matter…” Everything matters.’
After the Great War, life can never be the same again. Wounds need healing, and the horror of violent death banished into memory.
Captain Arthur Hastings is invited to the rolling country estate of Styles to recuperate from injuries sustained at the Front. It is the last place he expects to encounter murder. Fortunately he knows a former detective, a Belgian refugee, who has grown bored of retirement…

Hugh Fraser - amazing
Hugh Fraser's 'Papa Poirot' never fails to crack me up :) I promise you won't regret getting stuck into this series.

The beginning of a legend.
For me, Poirot is the greatest fictional detective. Now you can enjoy his first outing supported by a great performance!

Enjoyable.
I found this book to be a pleasant way to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon, in the garden.

Agatha you genius
What a great start to the legacy of Poirot. And the skills of a genius like Agatha to bring him to life. Well narrated and enjoy!

It's not her best.
I adore Fraser and his reading of Christie. What I didn't really enjoy was the predictable ending of this one. It left me feeling a little bit mift, but Poirot was hilarious in this one.
