The Murder on the Links
An urgent cry for help brought Hercule Poirot to France. But he was too late to save his client, Mr. Renauld, whose brutally stabbed body then laid face downwards in a shallow grave on a golf course.
Who did it?
Suspects
Mrs. Renauld-Wife of the Mr. Renauld and would inherit the whole fortune of her husband
Jack Renauld- He is the son of the Mr. Renauld and had not known about the new will. The previous one was for him to own half of the family’s fortune. He had quarreled with the Mr. Renauld previously and hid the fact that he was in Merlinville on the night of the crime.
Madame Deubreuil-Having a mysterious past, she is rumored to be the Mr. Renauld’s mistress and frequently visited him.
Marthe Deubreuil- She is Madame Deubreuill’s attractive daughter. She is in love with Jack but was objected by Mr. Renauld. She is the very reason of Jack and Mr. Renauld’s quarrel.
Bella Duceen-Who was this mysterious person and what was her link with Mr. Renauld? Her letter was discovered in Mr. Renauld’s pocket of the overcoat.
Just as Poirot discovered the real identity of Madame Deubreuil, another dead body turned the case upside down.
Poirot’s assistant, Hastings, had fallen for a girl who called herself Cinderella. Why was she interested to visit a crime scene? Why was the murder weapon missing after her visit? Why was she telling lies? Was she connected to the crime?
Monsieur Giraud, an arrogant show-off, thought that Poirot was an old man who is lousy. He had great pride and thought he was one of the best detective. He challenged Poirot with a bet of 500 francs.
Will Poirot be able to solve the case or be ridiculed by Monsieur Giraud?
