Summary
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.

One of Christie’s best stories
Quintessential Agatha Christie. Lots of possible perpetrators and Poirot playing things close to his chest. Complicated but plausible resolution. Hugh Fraser is an ideal narrator being a familiar voice as Hastings and adept at different voices. Highly enjoyable.

One of the best Poirot stories
Well, I certainly did not expect that ending. A genuinely fantastic book and, as ever, immaculate narration by Hugh Fraser. Definitely one of my favourite Poirot books.

Well Crafted
To begin with I would like to say that I am rather proud of myself for guessing who the murderer was before it was revealed and that it came as no surprise. However, the though only occurred to me a chapter before it was revealed. The whole story line was well put together and the clues all connected at the end. The characterisation of the detective and the doctor (from which we view the story) was incredibly detailed as to bring you into the fray of the story. Overall, a very enjoyable, tense story to listen to.

Classic Christie
This is one of my most favourite stories, it's narrated beautifully by Hugh Fraser (can't do a scouse accent though!)
This is an unusual Christie story as it is 'narrated' by the local Doctor, so you get a very different perspective.
I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting a true classic novel masterclass.
