The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Agatha Christie

an introduction to Christie, or indeed detective novels on the whole. I personally think that it’s one of her best writings, although it’s obviously not her most famous. The book is easy to follow, and Christie has a great way of keeping the criminal to the very end… Anyway, there isn’t really much else to say, except you’ll have to read the book to find out the ending, and if you don’t want to read it because of that, then I’d recommend you read it for the pure sake of doing so – I guarantee you’ll enjoy it! noodle.gorillaz2001© ...
