Загадочное происшествие в Стайлзе
Эркюль Пуаро и его давний знакомый капитан Гастингс встречаются в загородном поместье Кавендишей в Стайлзе. Кто-то отравил богатую хозяйку имения - миссис Эмили Инглторп. Возможно это ее муж Альфред, который, похоже, нацелился на наследство? Но ее пасынки, служанка и даже садовник также могли оказаться убийцами. Под подозрение попадают практически все обитатели Стайлз-Корт. Пуаро внимательно изучает жителей имения, пока не находит недостающее звено в цепочке расследования.
Дебютный роман Агаты Кристи «Загадочное происшествие в Стайлзе» стал результатом пари: автору, который до этого не написал ни одной книги, не удастся написать детектив, в котором читатель просто не сможет найти убийцу, несмотря на то, что у него есть те же подсказки, что и у следователя... Ну что ж, выигравший в этом пари известен, ведь его результатом стала целая серия книг о знаменитом сыщике Эркюле Пуаро.

It struck me that he might look natural on a stage, but was strangely out of place in real life.
"No secret hobby?" she asked. "Tell me - you're drawn to something? Everyone is - usually something absurd.”
"Ah, my friend, one may live in a big house and yet have no comfort.”
"Mon ami,”
"Eh bien, eh bien! Do not grudge me a moment's satisfaction of the eye.”
I have kept you and clothed you and fed you! You owe everything to me! And this is how you repay me!
'Never trust a man, Dorcas, they're not worth it!’
It is destroyed - but is it destroyed?
"Yes, that alters everything - everything.”
"Bon jour, mon ami!”
