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.

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.

Interesting surprise, but average narrator
The big reveal at the very was a huge surprise. However, this being my fourth Agatha Christie novel, I should have realised that nothing it's impossible. I did have an issue with the narrator and his narration of Hercule Poirot's accent. The accent changed quite drastically throughout the whole narration. I applaud his attempt to match the narration of the narrator in Murder on the Orient Express. However, Hercule's accents ranged from British to French to Belgian instead, it should've been kept constant at one of these three options.

Wow. Just, wow!
Absolutely loved this story, and Hugh Fraser's narration was always engaging and hilarious. Such a great mystery that really leaves you guessing until the final chapter.

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

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.
