"The Mysterious Affair at Styles," published as a Half Crown Edition by John Lane The Bodley Head Ltd in 1935, marks Agatha Christie’s debut novel featuring Poirot. This fine copy bears a very small name inscription to the front endpaper and lightly foxed edges. The covers remain fine, paired with a near-fine, bright pictorial dust jacket that enhances its appeal. A well-preserved example of Christie’s golden age origins, this volume offers collectors a robust piece of her foundational work, blending historical significance with excellent condition from the 1930s.
