This was my first Poirot novel and I was really enjoyed each layer the character provided and I look forward to read more about his adventures. Before reading the concluding chapters, I was so attached to the narrator. I was in love with the way he humorously portrayed Caroline, and then to find out that it was him all along? "Christie fooled me" real bad on this one.

I don't know what to say about this one. I realize that Agatha must be famous for a reason but I just did not enjoy this book. I wouldn't say it was bad .... but it was not good. Just another book that is going to drag down my rating average lol.

omg!!! this was my first agatha christie and I had sooo much fun with it!! it reads so fast and its so fun trying to figure it out before the book lets you. I was not expecting the twist and this would be such a fun reread one day to pay attention to everything much closer

Omg! this books was amazing. I went into so much detail and I loved the fact it was told from the view of someone other than Poirot or Hastings.

Poirot has retired incognito to Rural Sussex where he is invited to help solve the murder of Roger Ackroyd. Hastings is not in this story

Agatha Christie is one of the best out there when we consider the murder mysteries. It is my second read of her's and I already am a fan. Unlike 'And Then There Were None' (another masterpiece by Agatha and I highly recommend everyone to read it too) this book is focused on one single murder. The best part of the book is the meticulously planned murder and how every clue to find the murderer is connected to some other tale of some other human. Every single character in the book is well written and dense with its own story. The first half of the book is slow but with every turning page, Agatha increased the pace to make her readers more curious!
At last, it is one the best murder mystery I have read so far.
