El Misterioso Caso de Styles

SYNOPSIS

England, 1914. The world is engulfed in an unprecedented conflict. Captain Hastings, wounded and traumatized, accepts an invitation to spend his convalescence at Styles Court, the family home of an old friend. The old mansion is the perfect refuge for him… or at least, so it seems.

Amid the stifling heat of summer, problems arise, and the tensions and quarrels among the family members are resolved in the worst possible way. Emily Inglethorp, the wealthy matriarch, is brutally murdered in the middle of the night, and none of the inhabitants of Styles is free from suspicion.

Anyone could have killed Emily, from her ambitious husband, newly arrived from across the Atlantic, to her sons John and Lawrence, as distinguished as they are troubled, as well as her loyal friend Evie Howard and her young protégée, Cynthia Murdoch.

Captain Hastings is determined to solve the mystery and protect the family from the painful speculation of the press. And he knows exactly who can help them: a brilliant detective he met years ago who, by chance, now resides in the village. This man possesses exceptional insight and method, dresses like a dandy, and his name is Hercule Poirot.
