A review by oashackelford
The Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie
5.0
Hercule Poirot receives a mysterious letter in the mail asking him to come at once to France to investigate why a man is being targeted. In the letter he believes it might have something to do with his time in Santiago, Chile, and a secret he has about his time there. Unfortunately, by the time Poirot arrives the man is already dead, but the circumstances are incredible unusual. As always, only the incredible Inspector Poirot will be able to solve the case in its entirety.
I really enjoyed this one. Every time I read a Poirot mystery I think I have the right murderer but I am never right. But it is one of those circumstances where I love to be wrong. Something that I think that Christie does well is the timing of the twists and turns, each one affording you a little more information, but never enough for you to fully solve it yourself. Even when you get part of the plot right, it is never the plot in its entirety. I am excited to keep reading these to see the evolution of Poirot as she continued to write, and as a fan of mystery, I am reasonably sure I am going to keep loving it.
