The Mysterious Affair at Styles

WAS ONE OF THEM THE MURDERER! There were not less than seven people at the fashionable estate in Essex, England who might have abided Emily Inglethorp if she were more dead than alive. There were not less than seven motives and no fewer than seven apparently fool-proof alibis when the wealthy lady of Styles lay dead in her own bed. HAD THE PERFECT CRIME BEEN COMMITTED? Left to less perceptible eyes than those of the scrupulous M. Hercule Poirot, a monstrously maligned murderer might have gone untouched.
