Hercule Poirot, the Belgian gentleman with the supe- rior "little grey cells," had just begun his amazing career when this book was first published. THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD established both Miss Christie and her most famous character. Edition after edi- tion rolled off the presses. The book became a landmark in its-field.

Very good!

5 stars

I'll be honest, I was enjoying the first two Poirot novels, but the third book of shorts was less engaging for me, and I considered reading something else instead of this, but boy am I glad I didn't!

In 2013 this book was voted as the best crime novel ever, and I can understand why.

Admittedly, I don't have an abundance of mystery genre experience, but I thought that even though this book is so old, it still felt fresh once I finished it. Definitely would recommend!
