Why is the dead man wearing an overcoat that is too big for him? And who was the impassioned love-letter in the coat pocket for? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a second, identically-murdered corpse. The police think they've found the culprit. Only the second of Agatha Christies novels to feature Hercule Poirot, The Murder on the Links was first published in 1923. This is because Poirot clearly feels that, while Ratchetts murder was technically illegal, it was not immoral. Each felt deserving of the dead man's fortune. One of the most striking twists in Murder on the Orient Express is Hercule Poirot s clear preference that, even after all his work determining who killed Ratchett, Ratchetts killers go unpunished and undiscovered. There's no lack of suspects: his wife, whose dagger served as the weapon, his embittered son, who would have killed for independence, and his mistress who refused to be ignored. This book edition of 'The Murder on the Links' has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.
