About this listen

One of Agatha Christie’s most famous novels, featuring her beloved Detective Hercule Poirot - and her most surprising twist.

The story that made Agatha Christie famous ends with one of her most dramatic twists. The villagers of King’s Abbot are shocked when a wealthy local widow commits suicide and the very next day her fiancé, Roger Ackroyd, is stabbed to death. Dr. James Sheppard, the local physician, discovers the body of his friend and narrates the ensuing hunt for the killer. All the guests and staff at Ackroyd's country house seem to have solid alibis - except for his missing stepson. But as the authorities home in on their most obvious suspect, the recently retired detective Hercule Poirot unexpectedly turns up and joins the fray. Dr. Sheppard gamely assists the legendary Poirot as he untangles one of the most fiendish mysteries in Christie’s extensive oeuvre.

We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction.

These Richard Armitage Poirot readings are so very very good. I hope Amazon publishes more of them! It has been ages since I’ve read this one, and I completely forgot who-did-it. The surprise was thrilling & perfectly acted.

So good!

Best ever from the master. really didn't see that coming. The narrator was very good, with enough change between voices that I could keep the characters straight simply by the voice. Really a wonderful listen.

Agatha Christie Does It Again

Big question: who killed Roger Ackroyd and why? Good question; who would you suspect? All had a motive or opportunity but the least suspected is the true culprit and Poirot knows and identifies the culprit.

Who done it?

Beautiful

I have listened to more than half of Agatha's work that includes Poirot and Miss Marple. This book is one of the most unpredictable so far. I recommend it to anyone who read Affair at styles but has no time to read all the books in the series. This one is a must listen to.

Great story

This was a great listen. As a retired detective myself, I have usually worked out most crime mysteries well in advance of the end. But not this time. I absolutely did not see the end of this story coming. It was incredibly entertaining, and the voice performance was great. Give this a few hours and you will not be disappointed.

A Wonderful Mystery

Richard Armatige does a surprising Hercule Poriot. His voice is soothing, and flows well with this story.

Awesome
