Mysterious affair at Styles by Agatha Christie review by everything bee knows

Mysterious affair at styles Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is known as the best author in the mystery genre. She is also considered as female Sherlock homes. The way she unravels the truth towards the ending is just amazing.  I wonder how they write such mystery novels. With so much of interrelated contents and then the truth reveals in the end is quite shocking and will leave you speechless.

This book was written in 1920 and it’s her
first book. The book is narrated by a character Mr. Hastings who is himself involved in the case. The storyline is that Mr. Hastings goes to his friend Mr. John Cavendish’s house at styles in a war surrounded area where even wastage of paper was avoided. His step mother married to a person named Mr. Alfred Inglethorp was the talk of the town. After couple of days of Hastings stay at the house, one day there was dramatic quarrel which is suspected to lead to the death of Mrs. Inglethorp but then Mr. John Cavendish appoints Hercules Poirot the well known Belgian detective, on Hastings suggestion. The story then becomes complex and more interesting and an “open and close” case takes a wild turn which gives us a page turner novel.

About the story, the climax as well as the ending is a living pictorial which gives you a good understanding of the situation as a map is given for reader’s help. Writing was a little old school to me as I am more into young adult novels with modern terms being used. There was use of foreign languages of which translation was not given but that conversation was not a major thing to focus so that can be easily ignored. Otherwise the whole book was a wholesome package of mystery, suspense, action and drama involved and the detective uses his intelligence and Agatha Christie's writing works as a charm. Overall a very good book and I would totally love to re-read again and recommend to those with a taste of detective mystery stories and are ardent fan of the great Agatha Christie's work.


Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more  J

       In college, I had got an opportunity of reviewing a book through book review competition. I wanted to review a book and I took advantage of that opportunity and participated for it. Also I thought even if I lose in the competition, it will be beneficial for me because I would get a chance of reading a book and gaining knowledge from it. So only gain and no loss. I saw the list of the books suggested for the competition and they were all written by great personalities, so I chose Dr Abdul Kalam's autobiography book because I wanted to know more about his childhood and his journey throughout his life. An incredible piece of art at Kala Ghoda Festival        The competition was in a presentation form and I stammered first but then it went out great. And I won first prize for this review given below. The experience was great and I was delighted because I got my hands on an absolutely beautiful and inspiring book of a very influential individual.

Review of the book Ruined by Paula Morris / Everything bee knows

By -
Ruined by Paula Morris First of all this book was given to me by my sweetest friend. I would like to say thanks to her for lending her book and letting me read a whimsical story of which I’m going to review in detail below. Ruined as the name suggests, this book is absolutely based on stories which has a very intricate and complex background which creates present problems. The protagonist is a sixteen year old girl Rebecca whose life comes to a turn when her dad decides to go out of the country in china for work and sends her to her close to a stranger aunty in New Orleans. She had no clue what New Orleans was going to be like, how she’s going to make new friends. But in New Orleans things were much more troublesome for Rebecca. The hierarchy in schools and society made Rebecca isolate from the whole scene. But one time when she goes to sneak on her school friends at a cemetery, where she was restricted to go by her aunt, she gets dashed on to Lisette (the ghost) and

Easy way to make slime using Indian products/fevicol Hey guys, you must have known about slime and it’s already popular in the west and some Asian countries but in India it’s not that much, as far as I know. It’s because the products needed for a perfect slime recipe is different and not found in India like the Elmer’s glue and borax powder which is not that common here. So, I did some research online and found out a way to make slime using products available in India. Its supers cheap, easy and you can make plenty of slime and play with them. This is the easiest way to make slime and with Indian products. Before that I’d like to tell you that I had many failed attempts before following this recipe and those attempts really dreaded me out. All my friends and family members got irritated, but the slime was totally worth all of it. I guess even you might be one like me. LOL Let’s get started with the ingredients first for fluffy slime You’ll need clear glue which you can
