Synopsis

An urgent letter sends Hercule Poirot to France. By the time he arrives, his client is already dead.

Millionaire Paul Renauld has been found stabbed in the back and left face down in a shallow grave beside a golf course. His wife claims masked intruders abducted him during the night—but almost immediately, troubling inconsistencies begin to appear.

With Captain Hastings at his side, Poirot enters a case filled with secret relationships, suspicious alibis, hidden identities, and a crime from the past that may hold the key to the present. Complicating matters is Monsieur Giraud of the Paris Sûreté, a confident rival detective whose modern investigative methods clash sharply with Poirot’s belief in psychology, observation, and his famous “little grey cells.”

Then a second body is discovered.

As Hastings becomes romantically entangled with a mysterious young woman and the evidence points in increasingly contradictory directions, Poirot must separate carefully constructed deception from the truth before another life is lost.

First published in 1923, *The Murder on the Links* is Agatha Christie’s second Hercule Poirot novel—a clever, fast-moving mystery filled with rivalry, romance, buried secrets, and ingenious misdirection.

Narrated by Michael A. Lyons.

About Agatha Christie

What a daunting task to write about the most famous mystery writer, Agatha Christie. She was born in 1890 in England, where she was home schooled by her American father. It was an unusual way to be educated for the times. Her father did not want her to begin learning to read until age eight, but out of boredom, she taught herself to read by age five.

In his research, Curran found a plethora of information about Agatha. He outlines many of those interesting facts. Since there are so many, just a few will be mentioned here. Agatha could have been an excellent performer as a pianist, but she was much too shy to perform. She once had three plays running simultaneously in London. She traveled around the world in 1922, which would have been quite a feat back then. Agatha loved dogs. She has a rose named after her. She never did drink alcohol nor smoked. Her last public appearance was in 1974, at the premier of the movie, Murder on the Orient Express. Agatha Christie's name has appeared every day for 53 years in every newspaper with a West End London theatre listing. Her favorite flower was Lily of the Valley. The information about this illustrious author goes on and on. It is a great asset to readers that author John Curran wrote the definitive book about an iconic author. One other interesting fact was that Agatha met Archie Christie in 1912, married on Christmas Eve 1914, spending their honeymoon at The Grand Hotel in Torquay, but Archie returned to France on Dec 27th due to the War. Agatha and Archie fid not really experience married life until he was posted at the London War Office. Agatha has been quoted as saying only then did she feel that her married life truly began.
