Summary
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.…

This is only the third time I've read a Poirot mystery so I am by no means an expert on the character. I will say I thoroughly enjoyed Murder on the Links. The book at 6 hours is just the right length. It is tightly written with many twists and turns, yet everything makes sense by the time it is over. Poirot arrives on the scene in response to a request for his help only to find the man who has summoned him has been murdered. Even as Poirot investigates, another body is discovered. Add to that an official detective who disagrees with Poirot every step of the way. Ms. Christie put together an entertaining murder mystery. Add to that, Hugh Fraser as the narrator. I thought his narration was a cut above the usual reading. When I looked him up I discovered he portrayed Captain Hastings on television in Poirot, making him a natural to narrate this book. I recommend it!
