About this listen

Book #4 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.

Proclaimed by the Crime Writers’ Association as ‘the finest example of the genre ever penned’, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd contains one of the most celebrated twists in crime fiction and is consistently voted among Agatha Christie’s best novels.

It is, famously, the Poirot novel that demands to be heard twice: the curious listener cannot resist re-examining what they thought they knew. Laura Thompson, Christie’s biographer, described it as ‘masterly: deceptive in every way’, and it remains a rare treat for those who savour the challenge of a whodunnit, yet love to be taken in by a master of her craft.

Critic reviews

‘Agatha Christie had a mind like a mousetrap and taught me, in novels like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, the pleasure of literary surprise’ - William Dietrich
All stars
Most relevant  
Agatha Christie’s finest novel and a true landmark of detective fiction. From the novel’s first sentence to its last, David Rintoul holds the listener captive with his virtuoso performance, catching every bit of Christie’s knack for conversational dialogue and sense of humor.

Rintoul’s reading of this classic is by far the best one available. Listen and enjoy.

The finest mystery novel of the 20th century, read by a terrific narrator
