The Murder on the Links (6)

Product Description<br/><br/><br/>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.<br/>The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Sûreté. 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."<br/>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."<br/>iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.
