Another fine Christie novel where I was kept guessing until Poirot explained it all to me and then everything made sense.
Another notch in my "Year of Agatha" quest. Not sure if I'll be able to go through her entire anthology in such a short span, but I'll work my way through eventually.

Read it on the Poirot and Hastings omnibus, pretty sure I loved it since I have given 5 stars to the omnibus. My review on the omnibus says,
"I must have read murder on the links for the 4th time and I still forgot who did the murder...but I'll remember it now!"
I guess we will find out next time I read it how much I remember about it.
