The Mysterious Affair at Styles
8.0 (6 个评分) 作者: Agatha Christie 出版社: Deodand 2002 - 10
Agatha Christie's debut novel was also the first to feature Hercule Poirot, her famously eccentric Belgian detective.
A refugee of the Great War, Poirot has settled in England near Styles Court, the country estate of his wealthy benefactor, the elderly Emily Inglethorp. When Emily is poisoned and the authorities are baffled, Poirot puts his prodigious sleuthing skills to work. Suspects are plentiful, including the victim’s much younger husband, her resentful stepsons, her longtime hired companion, a young family friend working as a nurse, and a London specialist on poisons who just happens to be visiting the nearby village.
All of them have secrets they are desperate to keep, but none can outwit Poirot as he navigates the ingenious red herrings and plot twists that contribute to Agatha Christie's well-deserved reputation as the queen of mystery.
Librarian's note: the first five novels in the Hercule Poirot series are #1) The Mysterious Affair at Styles, 1920; #2) The Murder on the Links, 1923; #3) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, 1925; 4) The Big Four, 1927; and #5) The Mystery of the Blue Train.

To find out, the Crale's daughter asks Hercule Poirot to reopen the case. His investigation takes him deep into the conflicting memories and motivations of the five other people who were with the Crales on the fatal day.

這是世界推理之后阿嘉莎•克莉絲蒂歷經豐富的一生,於晚年開始撰寫的自傳。她於六十歲時開始提筆,七十五歲完成,照她的說法「現在停止,似乎正是時候。因為,就一個人的一生來說,要說的全都在這?了。」歷經十五年漫長回憶,作者的自述仿若一條閃耀於落日餘暉前的暖暖長河,她徐緩的娓娓道來,而又不時閃現著奪目的爍光,誠如她一生的寫照。這部傳記雖然不脫一般自傳的格式--由童年寫起,而至停筆的時間結束,但她並不讓自己過份呆板或嚴格地受到編年法的限制,它的可愛親和之處便是,她完全依照興之所至寫作,生活中的插曲、回憶隨手捻起。雖然生命中有幾段痛心的過往,但在她回憶中,仍然多的是生活中歡樂、趣味的部份。可以說,這本書是一首生活樂趣的讚美詩。
The Unexpected Guest [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Agatha Christie 出版社: St. Martin's Minotaur 1999 - 10
The Unexpected Guest is a 1958 play by crime writer Agatha Christie.
On a foggy night, Michael Starkwedder enters the home of the Warwicks through a window in the study. He finds the dead body of Richard Warwick, and finds Warwick's wife, Laura, holding a gun that supposedly killed him. Despite the murder being obvious, and overwhelming evidence pointing towards it, Starkwedder does not believe she killed him, and she soon tells him she's innocent.
The two decide to place the blame on an enemy from the past, MacGregor, a man whose son was run over by Richard while he was drunk. As the story progresses, the two fake the fact that they were just finding out about the murder, and others in the house were introduced. It is revealed Laura was having an affair due to Richard's cruel nature, and was vouching for the man she was cheating with when she claimed to have killed Richard. But there are other suspects as well - Warwick's mother, his simple half-brother, the sinister Angell or the apparently goody-goody Miss Bennett. The real murderer could be anyone!
