THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD Paperback

I love detective novels and Agatha Christie is my favorite in this genre. She remains undisputed as the queen of mystery.I re-read this book a couple of times and loved it always.I love how Cristie throws in a twist at the very end of the book when I least expected it and the clue can only be solved by Hercule Poirot who used his "little grey cells" just like he does in every book!The ending of the book makes it a five star read according to me.I would recommend this book to everyone who loves a good detective novel with mysteries, as Cristie urwraps the layers and makes the reader guess who the criminal is the until the very end.

Umm... WOW!I remember trying to read Agatha Christie as a ten year old. It was too grown up and difficult for me, so I deemed all her books as 'not for me'.Next, I picked up this book as part of my course and when I started reading it, I thought the writing was to blatant and childish. Then I continued, and read on and on... And on.And holy smokes, when I finished the book at a quarter past two in the morning, I quite literally woke my mother up and told her to read this damn book because I was so excited to discuss it with someone.I would urge everyone to read this book if they are trying to get into reading Agatha Christie or detective fiction in general. It is a timeless classic and justifiably so. The ending was so good. Unexpected and smooth. It was not abrupt but it left my eyes wide open.To Agatha ChristieHats off to you ma'am.Love,Someone who unfairly judged you books without giving them a go and now regrets it.

The story is about the sudden suicide of a lady named, Mrs. Ferrarrs, who actually poisoned her husband and then wrote a note to Roger Acroyd, telling about the cause of suicide and who was blackmailing her. Then after sometime, Acroyd is murdered before he could read the entire letter.The beginning of the book outlines the people and the setting which was very helpful to go through the plot. From the murder and the entry of Poirot, things get very interesting with addition of shifting views, shifting suspects, strong motives and unexpected revelations. The narrative style of the book is good and easy to follow. What will make you awestruck are the last four-five chapters and I totally went blank when Poirot tied all the loose ends perfectly.Trust me, you'll love every moment of reading this book!

The delivery was smooth, and the package came in a safe cardboard box. I'm pretty sure that it's going to be good since it's an Agatha Christie book. It's highly recommended from my side.

Loved the book but also the whole voice over of the book. It just puts you in the scene altogether. Like watching a movie in your head

As per description.

Worth it

The book doses not disclose the secret at any instant of time and keep you interested throughout the end, however the character building was very weak especially of Ralph

This is a fun read - definitely gives you some Sherlock Holmes vibes with the deductibe reasoning and weird questions asked, but has some great twists and turns as to who is involved. Fun read.

One of the Best book of The Queen of Mistery.

Ufffff un muy buen libro de misterio

Wie gewohnt spannend, gut zum mitraten

I've watched this on TV several times, and thoroughly enjoyed it. But it's true, the book is always better. This is probably the most well written of all her novels. Very, very clever. A great story.
