To mark the 100th anniversary of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, HarperCollins UK will be publishing a special edition of the novel. I was lucky enough to be invited to read an ARC, and what a treat it was. 🗡️
As with last year's special edition of And Then There Were None, the final chapter of this Christie classic has been omitted, giving the reader the opportunity to try and solve the mystery alongside Poirot and his new sidekick, Dr. James Sheppard. 🗡️
Once again I had a lot of fun with this. As I hadn't read this before, nor watched its TV adaptation, I knew as much as Inspector Raglan or Poirot. There was quite a pool of suspects to choose from, and a few well placed red herrings too. 🗡️
When I got to the end, and was satisfied with my investigation, I downloaded the final chapter to see if I was right. 🗡️
To say I thoroughly enjoyed this book would be an understatement. That missing final chapter made the reading experience a lot more enjoyable, and my not having read the entire Christie back catalogue certainly helped. 🗡️
Thanks to HarperCollins UK and Netgalley for the ARC. This title will be available on June 4th.
