The Mysterious Affair at Styles

Short and entertaining enough. Also occasionally racist and antisemitic, which keeps the reader awake. “Did that just say– Oh, God, no!” But, yeah, if you put that aside, which you pretty much have to do if you want to read any older books and not be sick to your stomach, it was interesting to read the first story with Hercule Poirot, and to have it be so text book on the whole gathering everyone in the salon or drawing room, etc.
