Take a swing at cracking the case! When Agatha Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot is summoned to a country chateau in France, he discovers a body on the golf course with a knife in its back – a hole in one indeed! New clues dredge up old intrigue in Murder on the Links.

I am thrilled to bring these two geniuses to Red Bank to entertain our community with sleek sleuths and chic songstresses all dressed to kill. FORE!”
