Teresa reviews Murder on the Links (2015), an episode from Les Petits Meurtres d’Agatha Christie titled Le Crime ne paie pas (Crime Does Not Pay), and disliked the inane subplot involving graft and an incompetent investigation.

Teresa reviews Cards on the Table (2015) an episode from Les Petits Meurtres d’Agatha Christie and thought it was better than the Poirot episode.
