The Murder on the Links (Hercule Poirot, #2)

How fun to spend a few hours with my first favorite detective and his charming, if not slightly befuddled, sidekick.
How I managed to miss this one is beyond me, but I really enjoyed reading this early Poirot. Certainly Ms Christie fine tuned her characters as the series continued, but I was not surprised that Hercule’s mustache was an early sartorial priority for our “egg-shaped� friend.
Slightly melodramatic, Christie threw a lot of tropes in here including some slightly complicated, double-crossing lovers. Plus some added over the top fun included a younger Hastings in love.
They just don’t make them like this anymore� now to see if PBS produced this one with David Suchet as the Belgian. 😎

I still haven't read this Heidi, so you're doing better than me!❤�
Thanks Sandy� my love for Poirot is a legacy left to me by my Dad. 💕
Excellent review, Heidi! I still have to read her books. I know, I know... 😳
You won’t get any judgement from me Michael!! 😎 I discovered her books when I was a preteen and must credit Christie with my love of brilliant but eccentric detectives� and of course the drawing room murder reveals!!
I adore Poirot so much! I cannot wait to read this one! Wonderful review Heidi 😊
Thanks so much Ellie!! 😃
Great review Heidi 💜
Thank you Margaret!! 😎
Fabulous review Heidi never tried Christie yet so glad you enjoyed. 💚
Thanks Lisa� everyone should read at least one Agatha Christie!! My first was “And then there were none!�
Very good review. As you can see with my rating, I enjoyed this as much as you. Slowly working my way through all her books for a second time.
Thanks, Ian. I was trying to read the ones I missed along the way but need to get back to it!! 😎
Nice review, Heidi. And PBS did produce this story with the one and only David Suchet and Hugh Fraser. They were so perfectly cast!
Thanks, Jill� I’m going to go look it up on BritBox!! 😎
