The Murder of Roger Ackroyd | AGATHA. CHRISTIE
post image

Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author 😊💕
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs 💕

1) Stuart Turton is the main author that can't write fast enough for me!

2) The Murder of Roger Ackroyd maybe? Mystery is my fave genre, although I also love fantasy and literary fiction.

3) Robin Hobb!!!! Working my way through Fitz and the Fool.....

Eggs Thanks so much for playing 🙏🏻🙏🏻 14h

“You mayn‘t have been kind in that particular way, but you have been kind—to me.”
She dropped a kiss on the top of his head and went out again.
“Ça c‘est très gentil!” said Hercule Poirot.

“As regards the medical evidence, I think—er—that I made one or two fantastic suggestions.”
“Then,” said Poirot, “having placed my solution before you, I have the honour to retire from the case. . . .”

Another great Poirot mystery that was fun to follow along with and try to solve. I haven't watched the new adaptation yet but from the description I've read it seems completely different from the original story...

Then she tidied up the church, slipped into a pew and knelt for a few moments to say her prayers before returning to the vicarage to attack the piled-up chores of two neglected days.

She paused and said softly, “Poor Helen . . . Poor lovely Helen, who died young . . . You know, Giles, she isn‘t there anymore—in the house—in the hall. I could feel that yesterday before we left. There‘s just the house. And the house is fond of us. We can go back if we like. . . .”

Roger Ackroyd's fiancée was being blackmailed over the death of her first husband & the pressure became too much & she took her own life. Ackroyd receives a letter containing some information about what happened but is suddenly murdered. There are plenty of suspects & how lucky (but perhaps unfortunate for the guilty party) that Hercule Poirot is residing in the village! (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf The timeline for Poirot's cases seems to vary a bit as the previous full-length book saw Hastings & Poirot working together whilst in this one Hastings has moved away & Poirot is retired. But not completely retired as he takes on the case of the death of Roger Ackroyd upon the urging of Ackroyd's niece, Flora. The story is narrated by Dr Sheppard who lives next to the retired detective & he takes the place of erstwhile Hastings. 7d
OutsmartYourShelf It seemed to be the usual Christie fare but that twist ending was perfect as the reader realises the clues that are sprinkled throughout the pages. I feel that I really should have worked it out but I didn't. 4.5🌟

TheSpineView Great job! 7d
Librarybelle I really liked this one! 7d
TheAromaofBooks The first time I read this one it genuinely blew my mind. I still love rereading it and looking at all the clues that Christie gives the reader - she does such a good job of not “cheating“ - everything is there for us if we can see it!! 6d
OutsmartYourShelf @Librarybelle There's no wonder it's thought of by some as her best book. 6d
