Amber Foxx's review
of
The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Hercule Poirot, #1):
"Christie starts not with a crime but with people—the narrator, Hastings, and his friendship with John Cavendish. Each person she introduces is vivid, whether likeable or not, eccentric or conventional, and enough of the characters are likeable tha..."
