The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

Voted by the British Crime Writers’ Association as the ""Best Crime Novel of all Time""

Hercule Poirot comes out of retirement in one of Agatha Christie’s ten favorite novels, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

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 an apparent drug overdose.

However the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur Hercule Poirot.

On the mark

Classic Christie. Just the right mix of ridiculousness while always moving forward. I actually think this was her most humorous work, too. She had me cracking up rather frequently. Awesome performance by Fraser.

I guessed throughout and was surprised at the end!

The narrarator is excellent and the story is incredible. written nearly 100 years ago, it stands the test of time. I enjoyed this mystery!

Agatha Christie is brilliant and Hugh Frasier is amazing as narrator. I will enjoy listening to this book again!

Never saw it coming!

Agatha strikes again! just when I thought I had the whodunit figured out, she smacks me upside the head with the plot twist l. Well done, old girl, well done.
