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.

Also, there is no sense of period voice acting - accents and language are too modern, and in some cases quite wrong. Dinklage is the best of the lot, with a lovely resonant voice (though too baritone to pass for Poirot easily).
I recommend the John Moffat as Poirot BBC radio plays, directed by the great Enyd Williams, if people want to listen to a top notch adaptation.

Not as good as bbc radio play

Great job on the dramatisation and music! A must listen. A new and welcome take on the Hercule Poirot voice as well.

Superb performances

Perfect Voice for Poirot...Peter Dinklage

There is at least one more Agatha christie adaptation (orient express) on audible, and this is on the same high-quality level of entertainment. Great voice acting. amazing sound effects. And the usual Agatha christie character development, twists and reveals. I hope audible makes more such adaptations. I mean, the last one came in 2017 and this one only in 2024. Hope they make it a new one every 6 months. high praise for the book.

another amazing agatha christie adaptation

I have read everything agatha Christi has ever written and loved most of them
But even there styles and curtains have always held a special place in my heart.
And as for Peter Dinklages buttery baritone.. what can one say that has not been said already
Discovered this audiobook on a cold December when I was out sick and what a lovely 4 hours this gave me
Thank you for whoever who produced it. And waiting for the full series impatiently

Nostalgia wrapped perfection
