Still one of my favourites, and nice to see the seeds of Miss Marple sown in the character of Caroline.

A great mystery and original with the ending. It reminds me of P.D James Cover her Face. The characters are excellent with all having a motive. The disappearance of the step son, the dodgy butler, Major Blunt, Mrs Ackroyd, Clara, Miss Russell the housekeeper, the personal secretary and a few others. Poirot in his third outing is magnificent even though c his marrows were a bit disappointing.
Marcus Vinicius
Uma Investigação Meticulosa
O assassinato de Roger Ackroyd em uma pequena e pacata localidade do interior da Inglaterra exige de Hercule Poirot uma investigação meticulosa. A história prende o leitor. A narrativa é espirituosa. Os personagens são interessantes. A descoberta do assassino é algo surpreendente. Difícil se antecipar à perspicácia de Hercule Poirot. Um dos melhores livros de Agatha Christie.
