The Mysterious Affair at Styles (and my first post bear with me!)

The Mysterious Affair At Styles - Agatha Christie

My dad introduced me to Agatha Christie's books because I love mystery books. They are my number one obsession! The first one I read was The Mysterious Affair at Styles.  I was pleasantly surprised! I loved this book! I love how she takes the main character who is everyone obvious suspect, the red herring, and takes the heat off of him/her. Lets you believe it's someone else….then BAM it really was the first person you expected. 

Pros:I love the Hercule Poirot character! He is smart and cunning, dramatic and slightly arrogant, but sweet and humble all rolled into a lovable detective. He comes to they Manor after his friend enlist his help to solve the "murder" of an rich elderly lady. It is not considered a murder at first, but of course everyone thinks differently, especially a certain woman. I do not want to spoil it for anyone but I highly recommend anyone who loves good old classic detective novels to read this!

Cons: She has a very predictable formula, as most authors do but she writes so well that it isn't boring!
