The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
4.0
As always, Christie keeps me enthralled until the last! And this is one of her best!
Agatha Christie has a way of writing about murder and yet making me feel completely at peace and at home in her narratives. Maybe it's her subtle and unwavering British humour that keeps me at ease. At ease and yet on the edge of my seat at the same time. Only Mrs Christie can achieve such a thing so effortlessly.
I can't find fault with any part of this book. The writing is clean and easy, the plot sublime, the characters distant but distinct enough to be likable.
This is not my first Christie novel, and it sure as hell won't be my last. I always return to her work as I would returning home - for comfort. Quick and easy reads that keep you lost in the mystery.
I encourage anyone and everyone to read anything written by this incredibly talented authoress.
