The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a book written by Agatha Christie in 1926. The book is well written for the time and can be understood today despite the older conventions. The plot revolves around the murder of rich man in a small town in England. The man that was murdered was called Roger Ackroyd and he was a local celebrity. In the book, you follow Dr. James Sheppard. The book is written in first person. Because Roger Ackroyd was murdered, a famous detective called Hercule Poirot comes to the town to solve the murder. There are multiple different suspects including Flora and the butler Mr. Parker. In the book, you follow James accompanying Hercule Poirot trying to solve the crime and find the murder.
I really enjoyed this book because it was thrilling trying to find out who the murderer is. I decided to categorize and write down who I thought was the suspect. This greatly raised my enjoyment of the book because I felt like a detective. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy detective novels. Agatha Christie has a whole catalog full of detective novels if those books interest you.
Hi Rishi, I really enjoyed your short but effective description and review of this novel. I also really like Agatha Christie's books and the thought of acting like a detective seems fun!
ReplyDeleteHey Rishi! You did a great job of getting straight to the point of the book and really voicing your opinion.
ReplyDeleteRishi, I like that this book's setting is England. This is a short and sweet book review
ReplyDeleteVery nice review. It looks like you put a lot of effort into this. I really liked the summary as you gave enough information to intrigue the reader, but not spoil the book.
ReplyDeleteHi Rishi, I really like how you made your book review concise so it was very easy to read. I also like how you got straight to the point. I am definitely intrigued by the book now!
ReplyDeleteGood review. I've never really been into murder mysteries, but your description of this book makes me want to read one.
ReplyDeleteGood review Rishi! I've never read any murder mysteries, but this seems like a good start. I'm glad you didn't put any spoilers into the review but it was still descriptive enough to know what it was about. It wouldn't be very intriguing if you had included spoilers about a mystery novel.
ReplyDeleteIt's like doing two things at a time: reading AND acting as a detective. I think this just makes it way more investing.
