Summer Book Review: The Mysterious Affair at Styles

This is the first Hercule Poirot mystery and the first Agatha Christie book I read that was narrated by Hastings. May I say I love Hastings? This first book gives a good picture of Poirot at his most innovative and most eccentric. I noticed something that was important and felt proud of myself, but I didn't guess who did it (though I rarely do). Suspicion rotates through all the characters appropriately, and I thought it was a mystery very well done. I like Hastings!
