About this listen
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.

Dinklage is Divine
What an exceptional cast of actors. They really did the story justice by bringing their voices to a classic Christie murder mystery. Even if you know the story, I would suggest you give this one a go. It’s very good.

Whodunnit from a Pro
Considering how long ago this was written it holds up very well. More of an audio play than audio book as each character is voiced by a different person.

Why only one microphone?!
The story is a classic, the performances great and the music is lovely but why are so many characters so far from the microphone? It doesn't add depth just makes it sound cheap - like a GCSE drama play!

Very shouty
Not sure why Hastings is so shouty, angry and shrill. That isn’t how Christie drew him. Missing quite a lot of Christie wit. Other than that it’s good for a freebie,
