The Murder on the Links

Agatha Christie

Sinopse

In "The Murder on the Links," Agatha Christie artfully weaves a tapestry of suspense and intrigue set against the backdrop of a French golf course. The narrative flourishes with Christie's signature blend of clever plotting and intricate characterization, presenting the astute detective Hercule Poirot who, upon being summoned to investigate a gruesome murder, is drawn into a web of deception and hidden motives. The novel exemplifies the golden age of detective fiction, showcasing Christie's penchant for misdirection and social commentary, as she deftly navigates the complexities of human relationships intertwined with the sport of the upper class. Agatha Christie, often referred to as the 'Queen of Crime,' drew on her diverse experiences and keen observations of society to craft this enthralling mystery. Raised in a household that respected literature and the arts, Christie's fascination with the psychology of crime was further influenced by her work as a nurse during World War I, where she encountered the profound effects of human suffering and moral ambiguity. These elements coalesce in "The Murder on the Links," where she challenges readers to unravel the enigma alongside Poirot. This novel is highly recommended for both enthusiasts of classic detective narratives and those new to Christie's impressive oeuvre. With its rich atmospheric setting, engaging plot twists, and memorable characters, "The Murder on the Links" promises an intellectually stimulating journey that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

Young Sherlock Holmes & John...

Christopher Allen

YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES & JOHN WATSON
The case of the lost fireworks and guy.
This completely new story I have written involves the 10 year old boys who will be the great detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, his assistant, when they grow up, this is their formative years where they perfect their skills before adulthood on what my appear to be inconsequential subjects, but the principle remains the same.
This is just one of an extensive series I will be publishing as audio books in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first one, and its only $1.25 cents, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment.
I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a violin Holme's musical instrument of choice and is energetic and the closing music ends the tale on a more restrained mode and only about 1 minute.
The story itself runs to about 7 minutes 30 seconds and is of course a short story, it is read in my own voice.
The story starts on 4th November 1895 in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and it discovered that all the fireworks and the guy ready for the next day's night celebrating Guy Fawks infamy had gone missing.
Queen Victoria herself had organised the celebration and it would have been extremely embarrassed to have to cancel.
Needless to say Holmes solves the mystery, returns the fireworks and guy to the Queen and the event is a great success. The Queen summons the duo to express her great gratitude.
The stories are designed to be entertaining to children of 6 to10 years old with the characters involved.
I hope you and you children, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, more to come!
