(Hercule Poirot #1),
by Agatha Christie.

For a first book, it's already well formed in most ways including the style and weapons used by Agatha Christie in her works. There's a slight whiff of the duo - Poirot and Hastings - being a takeoff, but the characters are so different from those of Holmes and his companion, the whiff remains that. There's some device necessary, after all, so the author explains the workings of the detection.
Quite a complicated mystery, as usual with Agatha Christie.
