The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (AmazonClassics Edition)

Hercule Poirot, Book 3

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Tim Bruce

The game-changing mystery that the Crime Writers’ Association hailed as the best crime novel ever written.

Detective Hercule Poirot is urged out of retirement to solve the murder of Roger Ackroyd, a wealthy widower found stabbed in his study. In the deceptively quiet village of King’s Abbot, potential motives abound - involving blackmail, revenge, legacies, and more - but they are hard to recognize amid so many layers of secrecy and misdirection...or they would be, for anyone but Poirot. Who’s hiding what, and which was the secret that ultimately provoked the crime? You can’t possibly imagine.

In her deservedly celebrated masterpiece, Agatha Christie outwitted critics and readers alike with a fiendishly clever denouement that still retains its power to shock even the most jaded mystery fan.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, this edition of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Christie's first story. What's not to like?

Agatha Christie is the queen of crime. Ironically I read many of her books before this one. Glad it is part of the free classics collection since it is her first.

A snapshot in time

It is classic for a reason : you cannot beat perfection. Original, brilliant, innovative... you cannot add one word... or remove one. I envy those who are only going to read it!

Who summit

My first Agatha Christie book and I loved it. Never could figure out who the killer was. Can’t wait to read another.

Another great Hercule Poirot story

Another great mystery solved by the likable Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. The narrator, Tim Bruce, does a masterful job.
