Picked by Dick - March 8th Meeting
This is Dame Agatha Christie's favorite of her many books! My favorite of her recurring characters is the detective, Hercule Poirot...
“This
is Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, and if she never wrote another word,
she’d have still gone down as the Queen.” –LOUISE PENNY, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Ingenious and unexpected.” –NEW YORK TIMES
The
official edition of the beloved classic voted by the British Crime
Writers’ Association as the "Best Crime Novel of all Time,"
Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that
the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected
also that someone had been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the
news that she had taken her own life with an apparent drug overdose.
However,
the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but
before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death.
Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this
normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur Hercule
Poirot.
