It had been a while since I read anything by Agatha Christie, but feeling in a mystery mood, and knowing her reputation, I decided to read one of her most highly regraded books, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
I'm glad I did.
The book shows why she is considered one of the greatest mystery writers of all time. The characters are interesting. The writing is clear. The pace is good. The little twists are integrated well. The clues are there - and usually I figure out who the killer is in most mysteries long before the end - but she kept me guessing until the last few chapters.
Bravo.
I will definitely read more by her. If you like good mysteries, I highly recommend this book.
Pax et bonum
