Book synopsis
Invalided home from the front during World War I, Captain Hastings accepts an invitation to the quiet country estate of Styles Court. The peaceful atmosphere is quickly shattered by the arrival of Alfred Inglethorp, the new, suspiciously younger husband of the family matriarch, Emily. Tensions boil over into a public row and a sudden departure, setting the stage for one of the most famous cases in detective fiction. When tragedy strikes, Hastings must turn to an old friend—a brilliant Belgian investigator named Hercule Poirot.
