What do we personalize in The Mysterious Affair at Styles?
Hercule Poirot - Christie's most famous detective! Determined and intelligent, he plays things close to the vest (despite his habit of thinking out loud).
Arthur Hastings - Generally referred by his last name, Hastings, he fancies himself a detective, but is miles away from the skill of the witty Hercule Poirot. He is much slower to pick up on evidence, but makes astute observations, which is why he remains Poirot's sidekick during the investigation.
John Cavendish - The stepson of the late widow Emily Inglethorp, he stands to inherit her estate. He seems to be a good fellow, if a little naïve, but openly wishes he had more money from his stepmother.
Mary Cavendish - John's incredibly beautiful wife, whom Hastings is quite fond of. Her marriage is on the rocks because she feels stifled at Styles.
Lawerence Cavendish - The younger brother of John. A quiet, shy man who has his own suspicions of who murdered Emily.
Evelyn Howard - A feisty, pretty young woman who works at Styles, Evelyn is just a little too gruff and very straight-forward. She believes everyone in the house (especially Emily Inglethorp's second husband) is out to get Emily's money. She is sent away when Emily gets upset with her, but that doesn't mean she's innocent.
