Agatha Christie : The Murder on the Links and The Mysterious Affair at Styles
THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES: Someone has poisoned wealthy Emily Inglethorp. But who? And how? Everyone suspects Emily's young husband, Alfred ... and Alfred seems to be actually trying to get arrested and charged. But why? And why did Emily draw up a new will on the day of her death, only to burn it in the fireplace a few hours later? The murderer has been clever ... but not clever enough to deceive Hercule Poirot!
THE MURDER ON THE LINKS: Poirot comes to France in response to a desperate plea for help to find his client already murdered — stabbed in the back and lying in an open grave. Brusque, arrogant Inspector Giraud thinks he knows who did it. But is the killer really the dead man's own son? And what does the victim's enigmatic, blackmailing neighbor, the mysterious Madame Daubreuil, have to do with it? Captain Hastings is baffled ... but Poirot is on the case.

4/5 estrellas.
Me gusto, pero odie a hasting su actitud me irritaba, como cuestionaba todo el tiempo a poirot. Tampoco me agrado mary C, era sumamente desagradable.
La historia me aburrio un poco, pero como siempre al final no pude dejar de leer, no pude dar con el asesino por mas que lo intente.
Me gusto.

Me ha entretenido demasiado. Definitivamente te lleva por unas pistas que hacen pensar que todos son culpables, muy interesante a pesar de la cantidad de personajes.

Very enjoyable. Murder on the Links beats The Mysterious Affair at Styles due either to its more straight-forward (but not predictable!) telling, or due to my having read it secondly and so was readjusted to Christie's convoluted narration. Either way it was far easier to follow: fewer characters, less hopping around, better explanations by Poirot to fill in the reader with necessary information.

Es el primer libro que he leído de Hércules Poirot y no me ha dejado para nada insatisfecha, pues la magia de la Reina del Thriller, ha echo que mi pasión por el misterio y el thriler aumentara. Me ha encantado.

Review thoughts
The story was too complicated and didn’t feature Hercules Poirot as much as I would have liked. Still, I love Christie’s stories.

EL MISTERIOSO CASO DE STYLES
AUTORA: ÁGATHA CHRISTIE
NACIONALIDAD: INGLESA

Como todas las novelas de la autora; hay asesinatos, investigación, confusión, enredos y un solaz e inescrutable suspenso.
