I am not a great fan of detective fiction novels that are narrated in the first person. Still, not with any sense of imminent mortality, I thought it was high time I sat down with one of her best, most famous and, certainly, notorious novels, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, originally published in 1926 and the fourth in her Hercule Poirot series. The other reason is that there are so many reviews of each of the books that it is hard to come up with anything original to say about them. If I was pressed to explain why it is because so many have appeared, in one form or another, on the silver or small screen that many of their plot lines are familiar, even if I could not immediately place one with any particular book. I have not read, let alone reviewed, much of Agatha Christie’s books. A review of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie – 230320
