The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

Another Agatha Christie murder mystery.

I read Christie's books more as a lesson in the anatomy of murder mysteries. Christie invented many of the tropes still used in murder mysteries today... the timings, the liar who is hiding something else, the distractions, the number of accomplices (Taken to extremes in Murder on the Orient Express) It's fun to read their original incantations in these books.
