A 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 prep school all the while hiding some secrets of his own.
Linden knows he doesn t belong in elite Martha s Vineyard. But when his prep school roommate, Jasper, invites him to spend the end of the summer at August House, his family s massive beachfront estate, Linden tries to fit in. It s not hard--after all, he s been lying for years. And he s not the only one .
Everyone at August House is ready for a wicked good time So when someone is found unconscious in the pool after a night of partying, it s quickly labeled an accident. But Linden begins to wonder. . .
As does Holiday, Linden s childhood friend and the only person on the island who knows the truth about his humble background. There s nothing Holiday loves more than a mystery, and she s convinced there s a killer on the Vineyard. And now it s up to them to figure out who.
