A Good Bet. The promotional copy accompanying The Mysterious Affair at Styles claimed that Agatha Christie wrote the novel to win a bet about her ability to write a murder mystery in which it’s impossible to guess the killer’s identity.
Adaptation. The Mysterious Affair at Styles was famously adapted for television as part of the series Agatha Christie’s Poirot in 1990. The actor David Suchet portrayed a version of Poirot that was very faithful to Christie’s novels.
