About this listen

Book #4 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.

Proclaimed by the Crime Writers’ Association as ‘the finest example of the genre ever penned’, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd contains one of the most celebrated twists in crime fiction and is consistently voted among Agatha Christie’s best novels.

It is, famously, the Poirot novel that demands to be heard twice: the curious listener cannot resist re-examining what they thought they knew. Laura Thompson, Christie’s biographer, described it as ‘masterly: deceptive in every way’, and it remains a rare treat for those who savour the challenge of a whodunnit, yet love to be taken in by a master of her craft.

Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the ‘Queen of Crime’, she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.

Critic reviews

‘Agatha Christie had a mind like a mousetrap and taught me, in novels like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, the pleasure of literary surprise’ - William Dietrich
All stars
Most relevant  
Agatha Christie’s finest novel and a true landmark of detective fiction. From the novel’s first sentence to its last, David Rintoul holds the listener captive with his virtuoso performance, catching every bit of Christie’s knack for conversational dialogue and sense of humor.

Rintoul’s reading of this classic is by far the best one available. Listen and enjoy.
