The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

astardanced's review against another edition

mysterious fast-paced

5.0

Now I read this knowing who did it so my experience was perhaps not everyone's but this is possibly the finest murder mystery I have ever read. Despite knowing what happened, seeing it all lain out and how she constructed the story was so impressive and extremely rewarding.

Incredible! I can see why this has been rated one of the best murder mysteries of all time.

This is the first Christie I read after reading an extract from the novel in my literature class at school. Since that day Christie and Poirot have become my favorite.

My first Agatha Christie/Hercule Piorot novel and I guessed the murderer within the first two chapters. But I’ll read more.
