The Murder on the Links (1923)
by Agatha Christie
The Murder on the Links is the second Agatha Christie novel featuring Hercule Poirot. Like the first, it features the somewhat naive Captain Hastings as the narrator, now settled in his role as Poirot’s sidekick/Watson-equivalent. The action takes place in a villa on the French coast, where a millionaire has summoned Poirot, intimating he is about to be murdered. This is merely an OK Poirot book, worth reading if you want to read them all, but one to skip if you just want to stick to the very best ones.
