Rent The Murder on the Links (King's Classics)

Synopsis

Inspector Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings travel to Merlinville-sur-Mer, France, to meet Paul Renauld, who has requested their help. Upon arriving at his home, the local police greet them with news that Renauld has been found dead that morning. What follows is an enthralling mystery, with Poirot piecing together clues and peculiar events to solve the most difficult case of his detective career. When The Murder on the Links was first published, reviews compared Agatha Christie favourably to the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Christie's reputation as "The Queen of Crime" was built upon the large number of classic motifs that she introduced. Christie built these tropes into what is now considered classic mystery structure: a murder is committed, there are multiple suspects who are all concealing secrets, and the detective gradually uncovers these secrets over the course of the story, discovering the most shocking twists towards the end.
