Hercule Poirot comes out of retirement in one of Agatha Christie’s ten favorite novels, The Murder of Rojer Ackroyd.

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 an apparent drug overdose.

However the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur Hercule Poirot. source: www.harpercollins.com/9780061763403/the-murder-of-roger-ackroyd/

¡Me engañaste, Poirot! – Una historia que me hizo dudar de todo

No sé cómo lo hace Agatha Christie, pero siempre logra que me crea más lista de lo que soy. El asesinato de Roger Ackroyd me atrapó desde la primera página. Y cuando llegó el final… boom. Me sentí estafada. De la mejor manera posible.

Todo empieza con la muerte de una mujer. Después, Roger Ackroyd, un hombre importante del pueblo, también aparece muerto. Y ahí entra en escena Hercule Poirot, con su bigote, su orden, y su cerebro que ve lo que nadie más ve.

Yo me pasé todo el libro buscando pistas. Anotando mentalmente cosas raras. Sospechando de todos. Me dije: “Esta vez sí lo descubro antes que Poirot”. Spoiler: no lo hice.

Lo más genial del libro es el narrador. Parece confiable, amigable, casi invisible. Pero Christie juega con eso. Te guía, te distrae, te hace mirar para otro lado. Y cuando la verdad sale …

hat The Murder of Roger Ackroyd von Agatha Christie besprochen (Hercule Poirot)

Very good!

I'll be honest, I was enjoying the first two Poirot novels, but the third book of shorts was less engaging for me, and I considered reading something else instead of this, but boy am I glad I didn't!

In 2013 this book was voted as the best crime novel ever, and I can understand why.

Admittedly, I don't have an abundance of mystery genre experience, but I thought that even though this book is so old, it still felt fresh once I finished it. Definitely would recommend!
