Publisher Description

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot.

Mrs Farrars is found dead of an apparent overdose one year after the death of her husband. The villagers of King's Abbot are suspicious. The rumour is that she poisoned her husband and was in love with Roger Ackroyd. When he is found murdered the following day, there is little to go on.

Luckily one of the newest residents who has retired to this normally quiet village is none other than Monsieur Hercule Poirot.

"An excellent read!! i begin to comprehend why Ms. Christie is the most widely read novelist. Intricate plot. Suspicious characters, each one with something to hide.. but things cannot remain hidden from the shrewd Mr. Poirot. A twist ending that will baffle even the most brilliant and analytical readers.. Look fwd to reading more of Agatha Christie"

    " I liked the way in which the story was told and solved. I found the solution to be unexpected and therefore all the more enjoyable. "

    " It is a shocking end who reads Agatha Christie for the first time. Unbelievable climax and make the readers to guess on murderer in each chapter. That guessing keep on changing in all the chapters. But still i am proud that i suspect and guess him correctly in 24th (out of 27th) chapter. A must read for thriller lovers. :-) "

    " Reminded me of why I so love Agatha Christie, whom I hadn't read in years. She wasn't always the "cozy" writer we often think she was, as this edgier work testifies. I'm so surprised I didn't remember how it ended, as the ending seems so unforgettable. "

    " Salah satu alesan kenapa aku bisa bener nebak siapa pembunuhnya adalah karena banyak yang bilang bahwa pembunuhnya ngga disangka-sangka. hehehe... sayangnya, efek baca buku AC adalah: ngga bisa berenti baca dan pengen ngelanjutin ke seri-seri berikutnya. (ngga tau harus seneng atau sedih) "
