.It may be a murder mystery, but its a supremely cozy and stylish one, and an ideal introduction to the amazing Poirot.-Booklist
The Mysterious Affair at Styles is Agatha Christies first detective novel (a cozy mystery-no violence or gore), and where she introduces her fictional detective Hercule Poirot. The story, set in England during World War I, is a true who-done-it full of mysterious characters and teasing clues. Monsons retelling of the original book captures the plot and distills it in a way that is fun for children, gently ushering them into the literary world of Christies mysteries. Along with the story, there are activities, games, and puzzles throughout to help with childrens engagement, and might just foster a few budding detectives.
There is also a glossary of terms and French words.
