Mrs. Ferrari ha muerto victima de una sobredosis de somniferos. Hace un año, su marido murió; al parecer de una gastritis aguda. Caroline Sheppard, la hermana del médico del pueblo, sospecha que fue envenenado. Poco después, Roger Ackroyd, el terrateniente de la villa, aparece muerto con una daga tunecina clavada en la espalda. Estarán las tres muertes relacionadas? Tendrá Caroline razones para sospechar? Afortunadamente al pueblo ha llegado un nuevo vecino, un hombre bajito de grandes bigotes, que se ha retirado a descansar y a cultivar calabacines.

Barbarius reviewed The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (Hercule Poirot)

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!
