THINK YOU KNOW WHODUNNIT? THINK AGAIN

Poor Roger Ackroyd. He knew the woman he loved had been harbouring a guilty secret. And then, yesterday, she killed herself.

But guilty secrets rarely stay secret. Who had been blackmailing her? Had it really driven her to suicide? Sadly, Roger Ackroyd wasn't going to live long enough to find out . . .

Barbarius reviewed The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (Hercule Poirot)

Very good!

5 stars

I'll be honest, I was enjoying the first two Poirot novels, but the third book of shorts was less engaging for me, and I considered reading something else instead of this, but boy am I glad I didn't!

In 2013 this book was voted as the best crime novel ever, and I can understand why.

Admittedly, I don't have an abundance of mystery genre experience, but I thought that even though this book is so old, it still felt fresh once I finished it. Definitely would recommend!
