The Murder of Roger Ackroyd- Agatha Christie

When everyone said Agatha Christie was the greatest fiction writer of all time., no body can write detective novels like her., I thought it was just bla bla bla.. until.... I read this book. At the end of the book, i was stunned by the conclusion, and I was in a situation to say to everyone that "Agatha Christie" is the greatest fiction writer of all times.

The story is set in a modest village, where the deductive Hercule Poirot has come to spend the rest of his life. Roger Ackroyd is a big shot in the village and he gets murdered. Hercule was the man to solve the case., and he solves it right at the end of the chapter in his own style.

This book is awesome and wonderfully scripted. Until the last moment you cant find the murderer who has came with you all along. I have to accept that i read the novel with full expectation and it did fulfilled my expectations to the limit.

There is a art in storytelling and as a writer myself enjoyed it most. Story telling is a difficult task, which has been done so seamlessly by the author. 

But the murderer and the ending affected me personally a lot. I shared most of the characters of the murderer till the last. People like us are dangerous. everyone calls us stupid, incompetence, lean, but the things we plan and do are difficult for others to digest. The ending of the story created a kayos in my heart.

This book is so much worthful, that you could get a doctorate researching it. A book to be in every book shelf. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie. Translation in Tamil also available Roger Ackroyd கொல்லப்பட்டார் by Srinivas published by Kannadhasan Pathipagam.
