Overview

The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction, first published in the US by Dodd, Mead & Co in the same year and in the UK by The Bodley Head in May 1923.[3] It features Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence, and the US edition at $1.75.The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Surete. Poirot's long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development greatly desired on Agatha's part... parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine. Reviews when it was published compared Mrs Christie favourably to Arthur Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Remarking on Poirot, still a new character, one reviewer said he was a pleasant contrast to most of his lurid competitors; and one even suspects a touch of satire in him. iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.
