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.

Masterful
I love John Moffatt but Peter Dinklage has taken his place as the best audio Poirot. He might even be second only to David Suchet overall. Fabulous cast, adaptation, music... please make more!

This house of cards did not fall down.
I love Poirot. There have been standout performances on TV and Radio, that I've enjoyed over the years. Peter Dinklage joins their ranks with a remarkable take on our fussy detective. Always believable and true to character. It would be a crying shame not to make more of these audio dramas. Himesh Patel also makes a very human and likable Hastings. The casting is excellent overall.
There were times when I was slightly unsure who was talking when there were conversations going on where we had no context and it could have been one of several characters. It would take a little time to get my bearings. I'm not knocking anything off for that though. The musical and sound production was unusual and overall successful. Almost experimental I'd say.
I'm waiting for the next one Audible. And it's worth the subscription fee.

Brilliant story
I’m an avid Christie fan and have heard several versions of this tale. Sadly, for me, this isn’t one of the best. Aside from not liking the depiction of Hastings, what let it down the most was the weird background sounds and the odd music, I found them quite jarring. That said, it’s nonetheless a polished piece.
