Book: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Author: Agatha Christie
Pages: 226
This is my 45th read for the year
What Amazon Says:
Poirot retires to a village near the home of a friend, Roger Ackroyd, to pursue a project to perfect vegetable marrows. Soon after, Ackroyd is murdered and Poirot must come out of retirement to solve the case. The novel was well-received and was voted by the British Crime Writers' Association as the best crime novel ever. Its innovative twist endinghad a significant impact on the genre.
This was a good book. I listened to it and it is very short, but I found this a good way to take this book on. I like Poirot the character. He does come in later than normal in the story, and for awhile I was worried I had picked up a non-Poirot book. There is good suspense and good mystery, and the ending wraps up nicely.
Stars: 4
