You can't go wrong with Agatha Christie. What's even better is this book is in the public domain, so I was able to find it on one of my favorite sites: gutenberg.org.
Roger Ackroyd is murdered, and the main suspect is a young man who was considered to be almost like a son to the man. His fiancé finds out Poirot is living nearby and asks for his help. Our narrator is actually a local doctor, Dr. Sheppard.
Enjoying watching Poirot on TV hurt me on this one. I knew who the killer was from an episode I'd seen a long time ago. I couldn't remember all the details, but I knew a lot of it.
The writing was excellent - as usual. Even knowing who the killer was and many of the details didn't make reading this book tedious at all. I really liked it, and it's something I've come to expect when reading an Agatha Christie. Good Book!
