Publisher's Synopsis
The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the US by Dodd, Mead & Co[1][2] in March 1923 and, in the same year, in the UK by The Bodley Head in May.[3] It features Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6), [3] and the US edition at $1.75.[2]The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Sûreté. Poirot's long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development "greatly desired on Agatha's part... parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine."
