The Murder on the Links

Yet another compelling mystery by Agatha Christie.

The book initially did not hook me at first, especially since I had a lot of trouble believing that the entire cast in this French village were speaking English to each other the entire time, simply because the narrator was there - I'd like to say it was just translated for the reader, but they spoke with a lot of French mannerisms in English that wouldn't be there if it was a translation.

After getting past that somewhat jarring disconnect, the story itself was gripping and suspenseful, and like all good mysteries, you think you're on the right track, but you never are!

A recommended read.

Another great Poirot story. It was a bit disappointing that we were kept even more in the dark and some clues were just revealed after the fact—not the same way as in Styles. I was kept mostly in the dark, even though I realised some connections fast. The murderer though, I did not find on my own. Still, it was very enjoyable and I cannot wait to re-watch the tv show as well.
