When a wealthy woman is poisoned at her country estate, the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot investigates a house full of suspicious guests, secrets, and conflicting motives

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.

About Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie wasn’t just a writer—she was the Queen of Clues, the Duchess of Deception, and the ultimate puzzle-master of mystery!

Born in England in 1890, she went from writing stories during wartime to becoming one of the best-selling authors ever. (Like, seriously—she's sold over 2 billion books. That’s billion with a B!)

Her genius? Creating twisty, turny whodunits that keep readers guessing until the very last page. Think secretive butlers, mysterious train rides, and a whole lot of suspicious characters with something to hide.

Her most famous creations—Hercule Poirot, the ultra-observant detective with a mustache as sharp as his mind, and Miss Marple, the sweet granny-next-door who solves crimes with tea and intuition—have become legends in their own right.

But Agatha didn’t just write mysteries—she lived one! She once vanished for 11 days in a real-life mystery that baffled even the police (yes, really). When she wasn’t plotting fictional murders, she was traveling the world, digging up ancient ruins with her archaeologist husband, and collecting inspiration for even more thrilling tales.

If you love smart twists, clever clues, and characters you’ll never forget, Agatha Christie is your go-to. Just don’t try to outsmart her… she’s probably three steps ahead of you already.
