Written in 1916, during World War I, The Mysterious Affair at Styles is Agatha Christie’s first published novel.

When Emily is killed, Poirot must apply his detective skills to solve the mystery based on a few seemingly random clues. The book includes maps of the house, the murder scene, and a drawing of a fragment of a will.
