I think that 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' has to be Agatha Christie's best book ever. Although the actual murder is not htat spectacular, it's who the murderer is that is the ingenous part. The ending of this book is absloutly stupefying and the fact that you are looking at everyone but the real murderer makes this book amazing. I loved it!

I loved this book. I never solved the mystery. My mother-in-law is a high school English teacher and she believes it is literary enough that she has her students read it.
