In Agatha Christie's 1923 detective novel "The Murder on the Links," Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and his colleague Captain Hastings rush to northern France in response to a desperate plea from Paul Renauld, only to find upon their arrival that Renauld has been murdered, his barely cold body found in a shallow grave next to a golf course.
Christie crafts a multi-layered narrative that explores themes of deception, identities, and the lengths to which people will go to escape their pasts. This blend of suspense, romance, and intricate detective work makes "The Murder on the Links" a quintessential Poirot mystery, filled with twists that challenge the reader until the final revelations.
