baileyborkson 's review for:
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
by Agatha Christie
This was a roller coaster. I feel like I loved the beginning and the characters were those cliché mystery novels that were born from Christie’s writing. However, around the last third of the book it started to feel really convoluted and just drawn out to get that big “AH HAAAAA” moment.
Overall I really did love the writing. If this is just her first novel I can’t wait to read more. Poirot’s character is so fun and I really wish to get more about his backstory.
Also, I guess slight spoiler I really just wanna pop Hastings upside the head at some points, cause he doesn’t stay in his lane or act like a logical adult man. Which is frustrating when he is our point of view.
