Publisher's summary

Sidelined by his war injuries in 1916, Captain Hastings travels to his friend’s estate at Styles Court to recover from his wounds. As the summer heats up, a tragic murder occurs, and Hastings calls upon the services of his old acquaintance Hercule Poirot. With seemingly unrelated clues - a scrap of a burned will, a false beard, and an empty packet of bromide - the brilliant detective launches his first investigation on English soil and forges an enduring friendship.

Brilliant and Engaging

Loved the setting and the various twists and turns. The last few chapters were extraordinary! Audible narration too was very good and easy to keep track and not get lost

The essence of a dime novel

The narration was pretty good. Clear, different accents, etc. The story? Absolutely abysmal. This is the first Agatha Christie book I ever listened to and I will not be coming back. The characters do and say the most incongruous things. The setting is English but the thermometer apparently reads in Fahrenheit. The plot is laid out in the first couple chapters and then she spends the rest of the book trying to gaslight you into believing that you don’t know what’s going on. SMH
