A fresh new take on Agatha Christie s classic murder mystery The Mysterious Affair at Styles, with iconic detective Hercule Poirot recast as a brilliant, brash teen girl named Holiday, and narrated by her childhood friend Linden, an athlete-scholar who fits right in at his elite New England prep school all the while hiding some secrets of his own.
In the aspirational world of Martha s Vineyard, prep-school kid Linden joins his roommate, Jasper, and several of their friends for the last weeks of summer. There we meet Jasper s sister Eliza, her friend Meredith, and Meredith s nemesis Aidy, and of course our very own Poirot: Holiday, the one person on the island who knows the truth about Linden.
But when Jasper s enemy, Greg, is found lying facedown in the pool, the only question is . . . who did it?
