The Mysterious Affair at Styles

By: Agatha Christie, Anna Lea - adaptation

Narrated by: Peter Dinklage, Himesh Patel, Harriet Walter, Jessica Gunning, Phil Dunster, Rob Delaney, John Bradley, Vivian Oparah, Patsy Ferran

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.

Peter Dinklage!

I am a huge fan of Peter Dinklage and his work. He has great range as an actor. I believe he is the character he is portraying.

Loved it!

Great performances! The characters were perfectly acted. I’m a big fan of this type of story now. Puts me in mind of the old style radio shows that used to be on way before my time. Well done!

Amazing performance.

Awesome story with a amazing performance by a very talented cast. I wish there were more audio performances like this one.

loved it!!

I grew up watching Hercule Poirot on BBC and reading the novels. This performance did the story justice. all of the cast were top notch!!

Quick fun mystery that keeps you guessing

I love Poirot mysteries and this is a solid one. Interesting version in that each part has a unique voice, however the direction of the speaking often has the cast interrupting and over talking each other which I think does more harm than good. Occasionally the background sounds overwhelm the narration as well. The actors themselves do a great job of bringing life to the characters and story.

Peter's Poirot is decadent and thrilling

Peter Dinklage what's not to love? his voice, performance, earthiness he's just wonderful. the rest weren't bad either. I loved it! we need more of Dinklage as Hercule Poirot.

Top tier voice acting gave justice to a great story

Other than Peter Dinklage, the whole cast did a great job. Elevated the thrill level of this story.

Fun

Do more like this. It was delightful to listen too. I loved hearing the large cast.

Peter Dinklage - absolutely the quintessential Poirot!

Loved this! Peter Dinklage as Poirot was outstanding as were the whole cast’! Bravo and more please!!!

Impeccable performance

I love it. Fantastic performance from the cast. The story is a little rushed at the end but otherwise entertained
