The Mysterious Affair at Styles is set in a building called Styles, and is a 'mysterious affair' - lots of unusual things happen and it is for Poirot to make sense of them all. 'Affair' in this sense means 'business' or 'event', rather than the more common (and modern) meaning, 'love affair', to which most of us are referring when we use the word.
