Publisher's Summary
Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected, also, that someone had been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with a drug overdose.
But the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information. Unfortunately, before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death.

"Led Me Along Very Well!"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to be better than the print version?I have not read the print version, so it was a pleasure to "read" the audio version.
What other book might you compare The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to and why?This book does not include Hastings--he is in Africa, and Poirot has decided to retire. It is impossible, however, as the more Poirot "retires," the more renowned he seems to become. His new friend is the narrator of this book, in place of Hastings.
Which character – as performed by Hugh Fraser – was your favorite?I really enjoyed the new narrator. His love/hate relationship with his sister is great!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I thought this book led me along expertly, and I did not see the end coming until very near to the end!! Wonderful!
Any additional comments?Especially if you haven't read the print version of this book, it is so enjoyable.

"Wonderful!"
What made the experience of listening to The Murder of Roger Ackroyd the most enjoyable?It's one of my very favorite Agatha Christie books of all time, so it was wonderful to be able to listen to it in the car.
Who was your favorite character and why?Poirot, of course! He comes across as arrogant, yet no one takes him very seriously - until the very end when he pounces. Underestimated by the characters.
What does Hugh Fraser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The audio version of the book brings a delightful voice to the narrative that I didn't really get as I read the book. Hugh Fraser made the book really come alive.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?You'll never guess who did it.
Any additional comments?A must read in the Christie canon.
