Hercule Poirot, the little Belgium detective creation of Agatha Christie, finds himself in an iconic Christie murder mystery. There are lies and liars with plenty of red herrings to confuse the most astute fan of British mysteries. Poirot, aided by Captain Hastings, travel to Styles Court and attempt to unravel the lies and deceptions of the players who all seem to have facts about the case they keep hidden from Scotland Yard and Hercule Poirot. Through the exercise of his 'little grey cells', the truth is revealed and the murderer is brought to book.
Hastings is kept in the dark through most of the investigations because of his romantic nature when he nearly spills the beans to one of the suspects. He becomes angry with Poirot who keeps his own counsel until the very end. It is here that Hastings learns that he has had the facts of the case (as will the reader) all along but didn't have the cleverness to put the pieces together.
Editor's note: This novel has been edited to conform to the American reader. For example, colour becomes color, kerb becomes curb and favourite becomes favorite, etc. Some British grammatical phrases and fragmented sentences were restructured to conform to current standards of use. No changes of substance were undertaken that would compromise the author's intention when originally published.
