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.

A real treat
I’m a bit of a Christie obsessive so am always happy when a new adaptation comes out. You never know quite what you are going to get but I’ve got no complaints about this one. The acting is excellent. A great listen whilst I tackled the Saturday housework

Peter Dinklage is brilliant
What a fantastic audio play of this well known story. Peter Dinklage is brilliant as Poirot, his accent is good and he gives the role real depth and honesty. The relationship between him and Hastings finally makes sense, Hastings is more than just a vehicle for saying 'I say Poirot!' , again Hastings is played perfectly. Another stand out feature is the sound effects , you're truly transported to the time, events and place. Setting the whole clearly in the context of the Great War gives the story so much atmosphere and strangely gives the story an immediacy. I really hope Audible does more of this Poirot Hastings combo.

Dinklage IS Poirot
This was brilliant, a fab retelling of an old classic and all the cast were fab, especially Peter Dinklage as Poirot. His voicing was perfect and much better than other celebrity actors who've recently attempted it! please make more poirot stories with this version of Hercule, Hastings and Japp

An excellent adaptation
Over the past few years I’ve seen and heard many adaptations of this book, some better than others . This stands out as one of the best. Peter Dinklage is an excellent Poirot and all the performances were outstanding. Please Audible, I hope you dramatise more Christie books like this!

Great Poirot
A great new era for Poirot, more Dinklage in the title role please! Suitably quirky, without being comical, and a hint of a darker subtext. A rich, fleshed out supporting cast, with an expansive soundscape.

Brilliant!
Brilliant adaptation of one of the greatest mystery books of all times. I hope we'll get more of these productions with the same actors as Poirot and Hastings.
