The Murder on the Links

Jamais une querelle, pas une seule incartade? Les Ravenscroft filaient le parfait amour. Si on ajoutait a cela une excellente reputation et une situation financiere confortable, on pouvait en deduire qu'ils etaient de ceux qui meurent dans leur lit. Et non d'une balle dans la peau.Double suicide, a conclu la police, sans trop y croire. Une fin singuliere pour un couple uni et paisible? Mais qu'envisager d'autre ? Un double assassinat ? Un meurtre suivi de suicide ? Guere plus plausible. Alors ?Alors, Hercule Poirot a horreur des histoires inachevees. Et meme si le debut de celle-ci remonte tres loin dans le passe, il en connaitra le fin mot? Comme d'habitude.Nouvelle traduction de Catherine Richard

Marple, Poirot, Pyne-- et les autres

Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is summoned to France after receiving a distressing letter with a urgent cry for help. Upon his arrival in Merlinville-sur-Mer, the investigator finds the man who penned the letter, the South American millionaire Monsieur Renauld, stabbed to death and his body flung into a freshly dug open grave on the golf course adjoining the property. Meanwhile the millionaire's wife is found bound and gagged in her room. Apparently, it seems that Renauld and his wife were victims of a failed break-in, resulting in Renauld's kidnapping and death.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 - and each felt deserving of the dead man's fortune. The police think they've found the cumprit. But Poirot has his doubts. Why is the dead man wearing an overcoat that is too big for him? And who was the impassioned love-letter in the pocket for? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a second, identically murdered corpse...

A spellbinding novel of romantic obsession.

 Vernon Deyre is a sensitive and brilliant musician, even a genius. But there is a high price to be paid for his talent, especially by his family and the two women in his life.
