The edition I read was a very old Penquin edition with yellowing pages the book was published 1923 and this edition was a 1953 edition, complete with diagrams of the murder scene, brilliant.
This really is Agatha Christie at her best, i had read the book before and remembered who did it, so that took a bit of the element from it, but it certainly it a most surprising murderer.
My Favourite Character has be Dr Sheppherd and Caroline
The part I enjoyed most was the end when all was revealed
I have read a few Agatha Christie books and do enjoy them, they are refreshing, often surprising, and not too gruesome
I enjoyed the book apart from the knowledge of who did it.
I did enjoy this book because the surprise of the ending, and the way all the clues came together
The last line was awesome 'But i wish Hercule Poirot had never retired from work and come here to grown vegetable marrows'
From Goodreads - The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Hercule Poirot #4)
Agatha Christie's genius for detective fiction is unparalleled. Her worldwide popularity is phenomenal, her characters engaging, her plots spellbinding. No one knows the human heart or the dark passions that can stop it better than Agatha Christie. She is truly the one and only Queen of Crime.
Village rumor hints that Mrs. Ferrars poisoned her husband, but no one is sure. Then there's another victim in a chain of death. Unfortunately for the killer, master sleuth Hercule Poirot takes over the investigation.
