A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. He has rented the house out for the winter and is staying in a nearby village. As evening draws in, a seance is proposed. But it reveals more than they had anticipated - TREVELYAN DEAD, spells out the board. Slowly the table begins to rock again, spelling out the word M-U-R-D-E-R. Is it true? And who would kill a man who doesn’t have an enemy in the world?

Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sat the corpse of Mrs Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist was the only sign of the fatal injection that had killed her. With only 24 hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he'd overheard back in Jerusalem: 'You see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?' Mrs Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he'd ever met.

Story
A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best.

Publisher's Summary
This is the very first Poirot/Hastings story. Set in 1916, we meet Captain Hastings as he is invalided out of the Great War and goes to convalesce at Styles Court, the family home of his great friend, John Cavendish. By an extraordinary coincidence, billeted in the village is a brilliant little retired detective with an egg-shaped head, who made a considerable impression on the Captain when he was in Belgium.
Styles is not a happy household and in the blistering summer heat, tensions mount. Even so, the tragic murder which occurs is not expected. The entire family is drawn into the case but with their reluctant permission, Hastings calls upon the services of the diminutive Belgian. Thus begins one of the great partnerships and friendships in the history of crime.
John Moffatt stars as Hercule Poirot, Simon Williams as Captain Hastings and Philip Jackson as Detective Inspector Japp, who already has reason to be indebted to the distinguished and unique hero of so many mysteries.A destroyed will, a shattered coffee cup, an old envelope - such are the seemingly unrelated details surrounding the murder of Mrs Inglethorp, mistress of Styles Court. With a thoroughness that is to become legendary, Hercule Poirot, the methodical little Belgian, begins his first - and perhaps most fascinating - investigation.
Cast includes Philip Jackson, Nicola McAuliffe and Simon Williams.

Dame Agatha's First
Agatha Christie's first novel introduces us to Hercule Poirot and his faithful friend, Captain Hastings. Set during WWI, it is a nearly perfect first book, and this adaptation features typically outstanding performances by John Moffatt and Simon Williams. The supporting cast is equally skillful and this dramatization does a great job of turning the story into a lovely full-cast listen.

Most Entertaining!
Where does The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Dramatised) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I thoroughly enjoy the BBC radio dramatizations of the Agatha Christie novels. They are well done and the Mysterious Affair at Styes, is no exception.
What did you like best about this story?
It is Agatha Christie's first novel. I read the book and then wanted to listen to the full cast audio. Really enjoyed the whole performance.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
I was able to tell the different characters voices apart. All the actors were lively and engaging in character. Love, love all the background noises and side effects.
Any additional comments?
Wonderful way to relax in the evening after a long day.

Good addition to the series
If you could sum up The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Dramatised) in three words, what would they be?
Great series start
Who was your favorite character and why?
Poirot is always my favorite. Although he is self important and vain, he is often put in his place by those who don't fall at his feet because of his intelligence. It keeps him humble.
What aspect of the narrators’s performance would you have changed?
I would have choosen someone with a younger, stronger sounding voice to be Hastings.
Any additional comments?
I like the dramatizations; the characters really come to life. I didn't really care for this recording's Hastings. He sounds old and dottering when Hastings is suppose to be relatively young and a good man in fight. His inflection was good (showing Hastings penchant for falling immediately in love with every beautiful woman in need). Otherwise I have no complaints.

Another Fantastic Hercule Poirot ❤️✨
The very first in the Agatha Christie 'Hercule Poirot' series. This is one of my favourite Poirot's full of the subtle high class wit we have all come to expect and enjoy as we are drawn into the world of high teas, dinners, served deliciously in between a good classic murder.
Set during the First World War in 1916 as the wonderfully quaint Captain Hastings is asked by friends to retreat to their home at the beautiful Styles St Mary Manor for a bit of peace and quiet well needed to help him recuperate from his time in the first world war. But as we all know; peace and rest is the very last thing he will get.
Hercule comes to the rescue. He is a guest at one of the little cottages on the Styles estate as war ravages through his dear Belgium and the Lady of the Manor is doing her patriotic duty by rescuing her Belgium friend. This play has it all: Love, Jealousy and a good Murder. A wonderful professional cast perfectly acted. This is a great radio play I listen to and enjoy over & over. First Class Christie.

Good adaptation of a Christie Classic
This is a well produced dramatised version of the novel by Agatha Christie. The acting is good and it was enjoyable to listen to though I thought it could possibly have been slightly shorter.
