waw, what an ending. Poirot, and thus succeedingly madame Christie herself, are so incredibly clever in this book that as a reader one can only feel silly and stupid for not finding the murderer or Roger Ackroyd before it's plainly laid out in front of your eyes.As always, lovely English, great char...

I almost gave this book three stars (or less) because of the ending. I was disgusted with Agatha Christie's cleverness. Up until the last couple of chapters, she strung me along, had me guessing, had me re-reading previous chapters to double-check facts. And them BAM! the last couple of chapters ...
