Hercule Poirot #2 : Murder on the Links

The Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie

In this classic Agatha Christie murder mystery novel, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot receives a desperate letter from a wealthy man in France. But when Poirot arrives, he finds Monsieur Renauld murdered, his body dumped in a shallow grave on a golf course. With his wife bound and gagged, and a host of suspects—including a resentful son, a jealous mistress, and a wife with motive—the case seems straightforward to the police.

Poirot, however, trusts his “little grey cells.” Why is the dead man dressed in an oversized coat? Who wrote the passionate love letter found in his pocket? And why does a second body turn up, killed in exactly the same way?

A brilliant puzzle filled with twists, lies, and red herrings, The Murder on the Links is a must-read for fans of crime fiction, detective stories, and Agatha Christie books. Perfect for readers who enjoy clever plots and unforgettable characters, this Hercule Poirot mystery remains one of Christie’s most gripping early works.
