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.

Editorial Review

Peter Dinklage gives an amazing performance as Hercule Poirot!
I have a confession: I am a huge Agatha Christie fan! The Mysterious Affair at Styles was my first introduction to what is now my favorite genre: mysteries and thrillers. So, when I heard there was a multicast adaptation, starring the phenomenal actor Peter Dinklage as the legendary Hercule Poirot, I was intrigued to hear how the story and characters would translate. The production did not disappoint. The cast created an experience that brought the classic mystery to life in a thrilling new way. The audio adaptation has an immersive and atmospheric quality that truly transported me to the world of Styles Court. This was a wonderful treat and homage to Christie’s original novel. For fans of classic mysteries and immersive storytelling, this adaptation is a must-listen. — Dawn G., Audible Editor

Good Mystery

Was a classic mystery and performed well by the cast. Kind of annoying how the detective was gatekeeping everything from us until the end, but I guess it was good to sum it up in that fashion.

Peter Dinklage was amazing

I'm a Poirot/Suchet purist, and Peter Dinklage was the best part of this - managed to give it a new flavour.

Simplified enjoyable

The language and format made it easier to follow and thus more enjoyable. Performers were all so wonderful

The only criticism is why they make John Hastings so whiney lol

Fantastic

This production was a delight. I was fully immersed in the story, visualizing it all like a movie in my head. Perfect for the road trip. The entire cast and production team did an excellent job. I hope we can hear more like this in the future from Agatha Christie's collection.
