Murder of Roger Ackroyd, from the title itself you can say this is a crime thriller. Intelligence of Agatha christie is visible through every page of the book. Unlike other crime thrillers story does not flow narrowly. Well, that is the beauty of Agatha christie.
I bet one thing. After knowing the real criminal you simply won't believe it. you definitely re-read that page again and again. It is a kind of pure mastery, exhibited by Agatha. Throughout the story, you can always find some clues. But that is possible when you read it second time.
The way in which Herculy poirot investigate crime makes you confuse first. But then when slowly things start to fall in place. You will feel like, Ahhh!!
In most of the crime thrillers author simply fooled the readers by shifting the crime from one person to another. When we think he should be the one, author reveal that he is not.
But Agatha christie is different from this, she doesn't make anyone as murder. It is like suspicion is on towards everyone. On one side, One by one evidence start to develope. On the other side, confusion also grow from our end.
To Put things simply. You can't guess the murder. Even if you do, you will most probably wrong.
