Two Bestselling Agatha Christie Novels in One Great Audiobook

Murder on the Links

In Agatha Christie’s class mystery Murder on the Links, Hercule Poirot attempts to unravel the grisly conundrum of not one, but two dead bodies discovered on a French golf course.

An urgent cry for help brings Hercule Poirot to France. But he arrives too late to save his client, whose brutally stabbed body now lies face down in a shallow grave on a golf course.

But why is the dead man wearing an overcoat that is too big for him? And for whom was the impassioned love letter in the pocket? Before Poirot can answer these questions, the case is turned upside down by the discovery of a second, identically murdered corpse.…

After the Funeral

Hercule Poirot is called on to investigate the murder of a brother and sister, in this classic Agatha Christie mystery now available in an updated edition with a foreword Sophie Hannah.

“He was murdered, wasn’t he?”

When Cora Lansquenet is savagely murdered, the extraordinary remark she had made the previous day at her brother Richard’s funeral suddenly takes on a chilling significance. At the reading of Richard’s will, Cora was clearly heard to say, “It’s been hushed up very nicely, hasn’t it. But he was murdered, wasn’t he?”

Did Cora’s accusation a dark truth that sealed her own fate? Or are the siblings’ deaths just tragic coincidences?

Desperate to know the truth, the Lansquenet’s solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to unravel the mystery. For even after the funeral, death isn’t finished yet . . .

Christie is in a league of her own

The narration is perfect. Hugh Fraser is unbelievably good at voicing characters both male and female.The writing is sublime. Christie is so adept at fleshing out the various characters and moving the story along it is no wonder she has sold so many stories and books.

Great character studies, as usual.

Guessed the culprit , however, not important to the story. It flows along beautifully. Enjoyed it immensely

Love These Two-For-One Packs

It is hard to say no to 2 Christie novels for a single credit. These two are very strong. "After the Funeral" struck me as the better of the two. As always, Hugh Fraser is the best in the biz when it comes to Christie and Poirot.

Great listen

As usual, enjoyed these 2 great books. You can never go wrong listening to an Agatha Christie book.

Just goes on and on and on

There just get too long and strung out... I fall asleep after half the time through it

After the Funeral > Murder on the Links

Murder on the Links is the bad stumble that Christie took between her solid first book and her MASTERFUL third book; it's an absolute mess of lucky coincidences. After the Funeral, however, is a ton of fun, a really good example of the classic Christie "extended family all wants the patriarch's money" set-up. Nothing especially outstanding, but very enjoyable.
