Summary
An Audible Original multi-cast adaptation of Agatha Christie’s debut novel, THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES, starring Peter Dinklage as the legendary Hercule Poirot.
England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way. Emily Inglethorp, the wealthy matriarch of the family, is brutally murdered in the middle of the night. And nobody at Styles is above suspicion. Anyone could have killed Emily - from her ambitious American husband to her distinguished but troubled sons John and Lawrence, her old friend Evie Howard and young ward Cynthia Murdoch. Captain Hastings is desperate to solve the mystery and protect the family from the terrible speculation of the press. And he knows just the man they need: a brilliant Detective Hastings once knew, who just happens to be staying in the village. His insight and method are exceptional - and his suit is flawless. He goes by the name of Hercule Poirot.
Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) leads an all-star cast as Agatha Christie’s famous detective in his first ever outing, with Himesh Patel (Yesterday) as Captain Hastings. Also starring Harriet Walter (Succession), Jessica Gunning (Baby Reindeer), Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso), Rob Delaney (Catastrophe), John Bradley (Game of Thrones), Vivian Oparah (Rye Lane) and Patsy Ferran (A Streetcar Named Desire).
Produced in Dolby Atmos, the production features an original score by Johnny Flynn.

So very well done
Poirot was very well executed. No pantomime antics from any of the cast. I thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation.

Wonderful Storytelling
Great cast and beautifully adapted. Really captured the despair of the Great War for combatants. I hope that we hear more of Peter Dinklage as Poirot.

As good as it gets
I'm a huge Agatha Christie fan and this is the best take on Styles I've ever come across, not just in radio or audiobook form. Peter Dinklage as Poirot is astonishing and the adaptation brings depth to the characters that is very well observed and feels modern whilst true to the original. More more more!

Very enjoyable
Thought Dinklage was very good as Poirot and made him more personable. Very enjoyable and hoping they will do more Poirot books in future.

Utterly delicious acting, most thrilling!
Dinklige is absolutely marvellous as pariot, the cast is outstanding as is of course the storyline. Does it get better than a good Agatha Christie novel in the winter months? I think not!

Excellent audible experience
Great cast, direction and production. Had to listen through to end in one session. Already knew book and ending but cast had me enthralled so had to listen on.
