About this listen
“Man is an unoriginal animal. Unoriginal within the law in his daily respectable life, equally unoriginal outside the law. If a man commits a crime, any other crime he commits will resemble it closely.”
Hercule Poirot is the greatest detective in the world and has the uncanny ability to solve complex cases with only small clues and details to follow. Poirot and his companion Arthur Hastings travel to meet with a client in France, but upon arriving learn that he was murdered just the evening before. He had been hastily buried in a golf course after being murdered, and very few clues exist to explain what may have happened.
Poirot sets about investigating the mystery, uncovering evidence of illicit affairs between people of interest in the case, evidence of other dastardly crimes, and finds reasons to suspect many of the people in his client’s life. He even turns to history and studies similar cases with similar motivations to further understand the tangled web of intrigue surrounding the situation, but with every step, the mystery seems to get more complicated.
Like every Hercule Poirot mystery, The Murder on the Links is a twisting and exciting unraveling of clues that is sure to keep you guessing until the final moments. This mystery is the second to include Hercule Poirot and one of Agatha Christie’s masterpieces. The novel billed as “a godsend to hardened readers of fiction” by the Illustrated London News upon its publication.

Hercule Poirot made his first public appearance in 1920 at the age, one guesses, of about 60. He finally breathed his metaphorical last in 1975 at the age of maybe 75 or 80. And in that short span of time — either 55 years or about 20, depending on how you count it — Poirot became one of England’s most profitable and ubiquitous export commodities.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Good story but not audio
I listen this on audible. Story is good, as always. Have not read an Agatha Christie for a long time, and she to me is still one of the best mystery writer. Now the audible is awful. I mean the voice of Poirot tries so hard to speak like a Belgian and i cant understand what he says most of the time. I mean does a Belgian speaks like that? I have to keep replaying the audio in order to fully understand what he says.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
