Publisher Description
In Agatha Christie’s class mystery Murder on the Links, Hercule Poirot attempts to unravel the grisly conundrum of not one, but two dead bodies discovered on a French golf course.
An urgent cry for help brings Hercule Poirot to France. But he arrives too late to save his client, whose brutally stabbed body now lies face down in a shallow grave on a golf course.
But why is the dead man wearing an overcoat that is too big for him? And for whom was the impassioned love letter in the pocket? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a second, identically murdered corpse.…

"Good 'ol Agatha. I thought I had it figured out and she twisted it enough where I was wondering how the heck Hercule Poirot was going to explain it. But, alas, he did it in Poirot fashion. I loved it!"

" This was all over the place. Not very enjoyable. "
— Kristina, 2/10/2014 -
" An enjoyable mystery solved by the inimitable Poirot. "
— Beka, 2/3/2014 -
" Another great Poirot book from Christie. Starts out very well, few surprises here and there as usual and the ending is pretty surprising. Great read and significant when going through all the Poirots books chronologically. "
— Salemalqassimi, 1/31/2014 -
" I really enjoyed this book. I think it is up there as one of my all-time favorites of Agatha Christie. "
— Sarah, 1/13/2014 -
" Excellent story, great fun "
— Frank, 1/7/2014 -
" Christie packed in a lot of twists and redirections. It works, but it also seems slightly overdone. Regardless, Poirot & Hastings are charming and fun. "
— Nawfal, 12/28/2013 -
" The second in Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot series. Well-plotted, if not deep, story with the delightful Poirot and Hastings making a great team. "
— Judy, 12/9/2013 -
" The classic "Whodunit", a bit old-fashioned with a solid layer of patina. "
— Bernd, 12/8/2013 -
" I am trying (not sure if I will live long enough to read them all at the rate I'm going) to read all of Christie's books in the order in which she wrote them. I enjoy the Poirot stories a lot thus far and am looking forward to reading about Marple at some point. "
— Traci, 12/7/2013 -
" Not one of my favourite Poirots. "
— Wendy, 12/2/2013 -
" The book starts well and it has a twisted twist ending,but the narrative loses pace in the middle "
— Krishna, 11/28/2013 -
" Loads of fun, and the mystery was really well executed, as always. "
— Kerensa, 11/23/2013 -
" Really quite enjoyed it, lots of twists and turns. "
— Zehra, 8/5/2013 -
" A very good Hercule Poirot mystery, among Christie's earliest. There are several twists and turns in this one, some I never saw coming. "
— Katie, 3/2/2013 -
" This one will keep you guessing, with some interesting twists and quite a surprise at the end. Capt. Hastings finding love was an unexpected development: mid-40's stodgy British man hooks up with early 20's acrobat performer, who somehow finds him irresistible... please. "
— Bruce, 1/19/2013 -
" Poirot is at his Poirot-est ("Pardon, but your tie is not symmetrical. Permit that I straighten him.") and the complexity of the plot is enjoyable. An excellent read for Poirot fans. "
— Tanmay, 12/3/2012 -
" It's an interesting book, not as good as some of her's I've read, a bit overlong but interesting none the less. "
— Caroline, 10/29/2012 -
" I'm becoming a Poirot junkie;) "
— Elizabeth, 10/4/2012 -
" Not as good as the first one. Very disapointed in this book. It was still good, exspecially near the end. "
— Catherine, 9/29/2012 -
" Enh. It's supposed to be a fabulously plotted mystery (and it is), but the Hasting character (so fun in the BBC) gets kinda tiring in the novel. Definitely a twisty mystery - and none of the "cheating" that sometimes leaks into Christie's later novels. "
