This 1969 Paul Hamlyn edition presents three sharply contrasting works from Agatha Christie, each underscoring her versatility within the crime genre. The Murder on the Links sends Hercule Poirot to a French seaside town to investigate a millionaire’s murder on a golf course, unraveling a layered plot of deception, romance, and revenge. A Pocketful of Rye draws on the sinister echoes of a nursery rhyme as Miss Marple investigates a string of poisonings and strangulations within a wealthy, dysfunctional family. Destination Unknown pivots into Cold War espionage, as a grieving woman uncovers a covert scientific enclave while tracking her missing husband across Europe. Together, these novels illustrate Christie’s command of classic detection, psychological intrigue, and geopolitical suspense, making this omnibus a compelling acquisition for collectors of mid-century crime fiction.
