Book review - Murder of Roger Ackroyd - Agatha Christie

This was a much raved book among the book circles. I was recently in a detective phase. And I found that I have not read this one!
Time to march into your phone and order it!
Done!
And finally I have read it too!
So, how was it?
It was good.
This is a Hercule Poirot novel.
The detective is living in retirement and he is scooped out of it for this murder.
The book goes in every mysterious way possible. The plot was not too difficult to understand and this made reading easier.
And finally when the murderer was found out, it seemed so easy!
For me, I had a  sleepless night with this book. I started it late in the evening and the plot was working overtime in my mind even when I was sleeping. I really had thousand and one possibilities lurking in my mind.
Now the ending may seem a bit irrational for some.
But having read another book by Agatha Christie, which ends similarly, I guessed the killer within few pages.
And saying as merely as a summary of this book might be a spoiler.
So I leave it to the readers to decide.
But one should not miss this book.

Totally an awesome read.
Personally I found it an enchanting one, but I guess I liked And then there were none better.
Rating: 9.5/10

Book Review - And then there were none by Agatha Christie

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE by Agatha Christie
And then there were none. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Quite enchanting!
At the beginning of the novel, there is a poem given. A poem about ten little soldiers. That somewhat intrigues you.
This novel is one of the famous novels of the author. This book will make any one a Christie fan.
Trust me when I say this. You will not need a bookmark for this book. It is a one sitting read. You could read it again and again!
The book starts with ten people on an island. The island is a little eerie to read. No one around! Only the big house where they are all going.
They are not related to each other in any way. The guests range from a Magistrate to a Governess. Some of them have come for work and some are invited. The letters to most are from Mrs.U.N.Owen and Mr.U.N.Owen. But the U.N stands differently for each.
They arrive and the story starts. Anything said more will be a huge spoiler.
This is a book that will make you want to know what is happening.
But there is a clue for finding the murderer!
Do not miss reading this!

Agatha Christie herself has said that this was a book which required a lot of planning and she took a lot of efforts writing this.

We enjoyed reading it too!!

Rating: 10/10.
