The Murder on the Links is an early Hercule Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie, sending Poirot and Captain Hastings to France after a wealthy man requests urgent help. When murder intervenes, the investigation unfolds around a golf course, a troubled household, secret pasts, suspicious alibis, and clues that point in more than one direction.
The book is important in Christie's development because it combines classic detection with a brisk international setting and a strong role for Hastings's romantic imagination. Poirot's method depends on order, psychology, and details that others misread. Readers interested in Golden Age detective fiction, Poirot mysteries, French settings, murder puzzles, hidden identities, and Christie's early plotting will find a clever and energetic case.
