The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Hercule Poirot Mystery

Can't say I thought it was good as some of Christie's other books (Death on the Nile, And Then There Were None) but the reveal of the murderer at the end was unexpected (as it always is!)

This is my favorite Agatha Christie book so far! The first-person POV took a couple of chapters to get used to, but it's like swimming in ocean water – you forget that it's cold after a while. This will be my go-to recommendation for Agatha Christie.

Fiquei realmente chocada com toda a história deste livro. Presumo que a maior parte das pessoas tenha entrado em choque com o final - eu inclusive, não posso negar -, contudo, a construção de toda esta trama intrigou-me. E fiquei intrigada porque está tudo bem construído. Não sei se era essa a intenção da Agatha, mas este livro começa lentamente, um fator que me levou a desistir dele umas quantas vezes, mas insisti... De tanto insistir, deixei-me envolver e esse vínculo perdurou por dois dias. E ainda bem que assim o foi!
Este foi a primeira leitura que fiz dela, mas tenciono muito mais... Ai de mim se não tencionasse!

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce roman d'Agatha Christie qui avait fait polémique à sa sortie à cause de l'utilisation par la Reine du Crime d'une astuce d'écriture qui sort des “règles” du genre.

I never realized what made this Agatha Christie novel more special than all her others. I was told I HAD to read this one and I never realized just how amazing it could actually be. Agatha Christie is truly the greatest mystery writer and the writing in this story in particular proved that. My mind is still blown from the ending and I may need to go back and reread it to appreciate Christie's genius all over again.

Dialogue in my head whilst reading this book...

“I'm not sure why this is considered one of the greatest detective novels of all time”

reads last two chapters

“Wow...”

This is the first Agatha Christie novel I've read. I loved her stories in Masterpiece Mystery, but reading this book, I understand why she is the all-time-top-selling author! There is an equal balance of humor and intrigue, and her characters are all colorful both in personality and in their personal histories.

A great read!

I've always liked [a:Agatha Christie 123715 Agatha Christie http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1321738793p2/123715.jpg]but this was amazing.

Awesome!!!

I just can't say much more without spoiling it that this is a fantastic, fast-paced mystery! Recommended for any mystery fan.

Another good one, ground breaking telling of the mystery. Being familiar with this let me see if I could notice things throughout.
