About the author

Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.

An early Poirot and one of his best stories here offered in a charming facsimile edition. If you like Poirot and are unfamiliar with this one you are in for a treat, it's a top mystery. Further story and plot information can be found in the Amazon reviews of the regular issues. (See Murder on the Links .) This review will simply discuss what makes this edition a superior alternative as book.
This is one of about twenty or so replica editions of Agatha Christie mysteries. Not all the books are first class Christie, but the various replicas - I have nine - are all quite charming, and give an extra touch of nostalgia to the experience of reading these exquisitely crafted tales.
"The Murder on the Links" is a copy of the 1923 first English edition by John Lane - the American edition of the novel came out just before, showcasing a totally different, more sinister abstract cover of a knife blade embedded in a red circle. According to her biographers Christie didn't care for the original English cover and this one as shown became the final version.
The Harper Collins facisimile nicely captures the sense for quiet understated quality of The Bodley Head publication, dark tan boards with an elegant art deco twenties design for the cover, one of those simple line drawings recalling the third stage of Roman wall paintings in their most fetching and refined linear phase. The dedication to Christie's then husband, a fellow fan of detective stories, remains: after their divorce in 1928 the dedication was removed from later editions of the novel. There are a few errors, though nothing like the whopper in "The Secret Adversary" The Secret Adversary (Agatha Christie Facsimile Edtn) where the original publisher accidentally repeats repeats a page! But that's all part of the charm of this series, and thankfully the mistake remains. At the price they are also rather a good deal, and certainly nothing like as expensive as some similar series of replicas. The price of the originals would of course be beyond all but the most extravagant book collectors.
This book was Christie's third; on the inside jacket is a blurb for her first novel, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles", also available in this series, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Agatha Christie Facsimile Edtn) All of these editions have an additional jacket along the lower half of the book, duplicating the cover on the front and showcasing other facsimile editions on the back side.
All in all a delightful book, a hardback with nice legible print for not too much more than one of those dreadful tiny paperbacks. It should make a marvelous gift for any Christie fan.
