About this listen

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. Then, 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 reading the letter, he was stabbed to death.

This is a great mystery story. Compared to other Christie books, it is the one that is not easy to guess the outcome (at least I didn't) or identify the killer. Very enjoyable.

I wasn’t sure where to start with Agatha Christie’s body of work, but found The Murder of Roger Ackroyd at the top of one list & consistently among those most recommended. Very obvious why — & Fraser is amazing.

Terrific performance of among Christie’s best

Agatha Christie's writing is genius.
Hugh Frazer's performance was entertaining. He used a variety of voices that gave each character an audible personality.

First thing first - the less reviews you read about this book, the better. Reviewers often unwittingly spoil the story because they liked certain parts of the story, and want to sell it to potential readers, but in doing so ruins certain surprises and set unwelcoming expectations for readers.

Having said that, this is easily one of the most memorable detective fiction I've came across. The performance from Hugh Fraser is pleasant and keeps the reader engaged. The story structure flows well and the banters between characters are interesting and makes the world of Poirot come alive. Having the story somewhat spoiled by reviews, it's easy to guess what direction the story was heading but nonetheless it was refreshing to follow the breadcrumbs left by Agatha Christie. It's conflicting to want to feel this is one of Christie's best work, and also not want that to be the case as there are so much more stories of Poirot left to be enjoyed.

I would definitely recommend this a read - perhaps not necessarily the first venture into Poirot's stories, but regardless a required reading somewhere along your way.

Instant classic for Detective story lovers

Told by one of the best narrators on Audible! This is one of those books I always come back to with a warm cup of coffee and a comfy blanket on a cold rainy day.

My favorite Agatha Christie book!
