Publisher's Summary
Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Now, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with a drug overdose.
But the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information. Unfortunately, before he could finish the letter, he was stabbed to death.

excellent
A classic Christie, impeccably read. A great introduction to her work, perhaps one of the best.

Fantastic story
I... I don't know what's real anymore, everything I know is a lie.
But really this story was really very interesting.

Good story
I thought the speaker reading the story did really well. The story line was good and had me baffled till the very end. Good story line.

A Clever Mystery, Right to the Last Word
I thoroughly enjoyed the ending to this mystery. In the middle I was a bit bored by the setting and didn't find the characters as dynamic as I'd usually like however it all comes together perfectly at the end. Great performance by Hugh Fraser, comforting for anyone who loves the David Suchet Poirot TV series.

What an ending!
I didn't guess the murderer, and it was a thrilling read, so enjoyable. Nothing like the retired Poirot solving a case. So many unreliable characters.

Papa Poirot the Great
A murder. Numerous suspects. All have a motive. Yet “the one” is always someone unassuming to the reader. The narrator did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life. This novel felt so cozy and intimate. I felt I was in the room with the detective uncovering clues.
