'In general, in Christie's books, "home" is not a warm, nurturing place, and her mansions - often isolated, moldering and gloomy - make ideal spots for murder, like the one in her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles. There are a half-dozen suspects, most of whom are hiding facts about themselves. It is set in a large, isolated country manor. The story features many of the elements that have become icons of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, largely due to Christie's influence. The small, fastidious Belgian is one of her most iconic characters and among the most famous fictional detectives in the world. The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written by Agatha Christie in 1920, is the first of her novels to feature Hercule Poirot.
