TWO BESTSELLING MYSTERIES IN ONE GREAT PACKAGE! 

From the Queen of Mystery, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in which Hercule Poirot solves his first case, and Five Little Pigs, where Poirot races to solve a case from the past.

THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES

Who poisoned the wealthy Emily Inglethorp and how did the murderer penetrate and escape from her locked bedroom? Suspects abound in the quaint village of Styles St. Mary—from the heiress's fawning new husband to her two stepsons, her volatile housekeeper, and a pretty nurse who works in a hospital dispensary.

With impeccable timing, and making his unforgettable debut, the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is on the case.

FIVE LITTLE PIGS

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other “little pigs” who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcée), who had her roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess), who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister), who cried all the way home. Sixteen years later, Caroline’s daughter is determined to prove her mother’s innocence, and Poirot just can’t get that nursery rhyme out of his mind.

Agatha Christie

The Detection Club was founded in London in 1930 by a distinguished group of British detective fiction writers dedicated to the art of the mystery novel. Its founding members included Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, Anthony Berkeley, and other leading figures of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Chesterton served as the club's first president, and Christie later held that position for nearly two decades. The Floating Admiral brought together fourteen contributors in an extraordinary experiment in collaborative storytelling. Rather than creating separate stories, the writers constructed a single intricate mystery, each adding new complications while respecting the clues established by earlier contributors. The result remains one of the most unusual achievements in detective fiction.
