The Murder on the Links

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Charles Armstrong

When a man is found dead in a freshly dug grave adjacent to a golf course, Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings arrive on the scene only to be met by a hostile local police detective who is unwilling to share information. But Poirot's methodical investigation slowly and surely reveals the real killer amid a host of suspects and clues, including an impassioned love letter and heavy lead piping found near the body. However, as Poirot and Hastings rush to solve the murder, a similarly slain corpse and fresh clues are discovered.

Was Missing Something

I too found it a little confusing. Liked the performance but the story at times was hard to follow.

Wonderful classic!!

I do love re visiting the classics and this did not disappoint! I love the language and extensive vocabulary that isn’t always use today. The performance was on point! Worth the visit!

Retro (dated)

I used to love Agatha Christie but it’s very hard to listen to now. The crimes are very arbitrary, unrealistic and sometimes nonsensical. The plots are overwrought. There’s no sense in trying to figure out “who did it.” The all-knowingness of the detectives is also from a time long passed.

Disappointed.

The story was too complicated and read extremely fast. Two many French accents and hard to folliw.

Confusing

I normally love Agatha Christie and the Poirot stories, but this is just hard to follow. The story is all over the place and had next to nothing to do with the actual links. If you asked me to recap it for you, I couldn't. Also seemed odd to have Poirot being so blatantly rude to Hastings. Not my favorite book.
