Updated: December 2019. This book still is for me the best murder mystery I have read. Christie totally deserves all of the accolades she got for this book. I loved every minute of it and the set-up. I still gasped when we have our Poirot deducing who killed Roger Ackroyd. I started reading Agath...
This novel contains all the elements of a fun mystery: a murder in a locked room, a knife from the back, a country house, a group of suspects — each of whom arouses suspicion one way or another, a cozy English village complete with gossiping busybodies, and an all-knowing detective.

'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' is a classic country house mystery with nervous servants, untrustworthy relatives and hangers-on, and a nearby village bustling with gossip and opinions. Our narrator is the local Doctor who introduces the principal residents, including his sister who operates as the ne...
About halfway through I figured out who did it. I´m super excited. Nonetheless I´m a bit disappointed by the ending, because [spoiler] I really liked the murderer. [/spoiler] But then, it´s been so nice to revisit Poirot, who is as odd, brilliant and eccentric as ever: "Hercule Poirot does ...
