This was a re-read for me (as any Christie book would be). It amuses me that though she was one of the founders of the mystery genre, she also innovated several twist endings. This book is one of them; Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None are the other two that come to mind. But even though I knew the ending of this one I still couldn't see it coming. Classic! ( ![]() Poirot was an extraordinary-looking little man. He was hardly more than five feet four inches, but carried himself with great dignity. His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side. His moustache was very stiff and military. The neatness of his attire was almost incredible; I believe a speck of dust would have caused him more pain than a bullet wound. Yet this quaint dandified little man who, I was sorry to see, now limped badly, had been in his time one of the most celebrated members of the Belgian police. As a detective, his flair had been extraordinary, and he had achieved triumphs by unravelling some of the most baffling cases of the day. Christie, Agatha. Hercule Poirot 3-Book Collection 1: The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Murder on the Links, Poirot Investigates (Kindle Locations 308-313). HarperCollins Publishers. Kindle Edition. I love Hercule Poirot. Such a great detective. Such a character. There's always a great mystery with lots of twists and turns and red herrings, all of which keep me riveted. The characters are interesting and have complex motives for their actions. I've read many Agatha Christie books before but not all and not in order so I'm in the process of commencing a reread. Highly recommend to crime lovers. Mind. Blown. I had to sit on this review for a few days to think about what to say because Mind. Blown. was literally all I could think to put down. I've managed to put my thoughts into some semblance of order now. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is amazing. It is epic, terrific, brilliant. I loved this book. I didn't see the twist coming. In any way shape or form and it's been awhile since I was so utterly blindsided by a mystery book. I loved it. Plus Hastings is gone. I don't know why he's gone but I'm glad he is. I never really liked him afterall. I liked Dr James Sheppard though. I felt that he was a nice fit to play Watson to Poirot's Sherlock. I loved Caroline. She was bossy and observant and amusing. This was just awesome. I can't wait to read more. The writing is dull and the story uninspired. Bland and boring until the end, when the final plot-twist is so ridiculous it could have been written by M. Night Shyamalan. This title was my first AC, many years ago *sigh* That ending Boring, boring, boring, boom! Definitely an unexpected surprise. The ending really redeemed the book as a whole.

Agatha Christie's most daring crime mystery - an early and particularly brilliant outing of Hercule Poirot, 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd', with its legendary twist, changed the detective fiction genre for ever. 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... No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
