The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Book #4 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series. Proclaimed by the Crime Writers' Association as 'the finest example of the genre ever penned', The Murder of Roger Ackroyd contains one of the most celebrated twists in crime fiction and is consistently voted among Agatha Christie's best novels. It is, famously, the Poirot novel that demands to be heard twice: the curious listener cannot resist re-examining what they thought they knew. Laura Thompson, Christie's biographer, described it as 'masterly: deceptive in every way', and it remains a rare treat for those who savour the challenge of a whodunnit, yet love to be taken in by a master of her craft.
