The Mysterious Affair at Styles

The Mysterious Affair at Styles and "The Mysterious Affair at Rugeley"! This edition of THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES celebrates 100 years since the 1916 inception of a mystery masterpiece. It contains the complete, classic detective novel by AGATHA CHRISTIE, enhanced by a handful of annotations designed to bridge smoothly the gap of a century of history. The novel is accompanied by an intriguing and engrossing original account of "THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT RUGELEY": the unbelievable true-crime story of the infamous DR WILLIAM PALMER, whose 1856 trial for the murder by strychnine-poisoning of JOHN PARSONS COOK doubtless served as an inspiration, over a half-century later, for Agatha Christie's first mystery novel.
