Murder Most Fun

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

January 4, 2020 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Toward the end of CBR11, someone (Classic, I believe) posted a review of Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. It had been a while since I had read a good mystery, an even longer while since I had read any Christie, and having just finished The Most Depressing Book Ever, I decided to do myself a treat and see what happened to Roger. I’m not sure why murder mysteries are so gratifying — perhaps the logic of it all, the finding of answers, the […]

Still the Best Reveal…

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

December 26, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Updated: December 2019.  This book still is for me the best murder mystery I have read. Christie totally deserves all of the accolades she got for this book. I loved every minute of it and the set-up. I still gasped when we have our Poirot deducing who killed Roger Ackroyd.  I started reading Agatha Christie about a year or so ago. I had only read three of her Miss Marple novels and this was my first Hercule Poirot novel. I was once again pleasantly surprised […]

You should employ your little grey cells

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

February 25, 2018 by vel veeter 9 Comments

I generally like Agatha Christie novels. And I generally liked this one. In fact, it’s one of the ones I have liked the most. That said, I never like them that much. So that said…. Agatha Christie novels remind me of a long running tv show that have had multiple different showrunners. Sort of like the Simpsons, where the Conan O’Brien days were great, the Dana Gould days were ok, etc etc. Also, like tv shows, sometimes there’s a more innovative and interesting attempt to tell the […]

Is this the best Agatha Christie book? I’m still partial to ‘And Then There Were None.’

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Hercule Poirot, #4) by Agatha Christie

February 18, 2015 by narfna Leave a Comment

Up until the ending, I really did not understand why this book is widely considered to be the best (or at least the top five) of Christie’s books. Then it happened, and I was like WHAT!? Actually it was more like a double what, because not only was it a really daring ending, especially for being published in 1926, but I actually guessed the murderer! That has never happened to me before. I am THE WORST at guessing mystery endings. I am gullible and trusting […]

  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.Thanks! And yes, this is not a Malin book. It's very very good but I think your parental instincts would give you some trouble.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.I still love that book! This one is just as well written but different aims, I think.
