Continuing with my audio re-read of Agatha's golden age mysteries, I listened to this one. I am positive I had either read it, or had been spoilered at some point, because I had the niggling suspicion as to the solution of this mystery quite early in the book. This would be unusual, given the inte...

Just when I was starting to lose faith in Mrs Christie, I discover anew how brilliant the plotting and the writing can be! This one is WOW! It is amazing, mind-boggeling and astonishing. The whole construct was great - it still had a lot of hints so that the reader cannot claim that the revelation...

Blog Stories Review: http://storiesbooksandmovies.blogspot.it/2014/10/l-di-roger-ackroyd-agatha-christie.htmlFinalmente l'ho letto. Finalmente ho capito chi è questo fantomatico signor Roger Ackroyd, il cui nome occupa buona parte del titolo. Mi capita spesso di essere incuriosita da un libro che ne...

I can understand now why it is so praised and even compared to the other Christie's masterpieces, like Murder on the Orient Express or And Then There Were None. In this case the literal meaning of "extra-ordinary" is a precise definition of the story. Is it legit to be lightly satisfied because I w...

Weekends are prime crime time, so read my review of THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD http://tinyurl.com/pw47jxj It's the original & best plot twist EVER! What better way to wile away a summer afternoon than to read an old classic? First time, fifth time, still a good damned read.

well, that was WONDERFUL. i can certainly see why The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is considered Agatha Christie's best. i'd thought And Then There Were None was impressive, but i had no idea. i've been reading mystery novels since at least middle school. but, if there's one thing that reading Christie's...

Awesome book, arguably the best in the Christie canon. I actually guessed the murder because of non-spoiler reviews here on Goodreads so I'm not going to say anything about the plot. However, I love mysteries and have read 100s maybe 1000s and this was one of the best, if not actually the best. I...

Quite pleased with myself as I managed to work out who the murderer was before it was revealed in the story. The first time I have ever been able to do that with an Agatha Christie mystery!

Of all the Agatha Christie books I've read--of all the mystery books I've read, there are three with such jaw-dropping resolutions that you want to scream, "I don't believe she did that!" One is And Then There Were None, another is Murder on the Orient Express and the third is The Murder of Roger Ac...
