Sinossi
King's Abbot è un tipico paesino della campagna inglese dove non succede mai nulla di speciale. Un giorno però qualcosa accade: l'uomo più ricco del paese, Roger Ackroyd, viene assassinato proprio quando sta per leggere una lettera che avrebbe fatto luce sul misterioso suicidio di un'amica, la signora Ferrars. Il delitto getta nello sgomento la piccola comunità. Ma, in particolare tra gli amici e i parenti della vittima, non tutti hanno da dolersi dell'accaduto. Almeno così sembra credere un buffo investigatore belga in pensione, trasferitosi da poco nel villaggio per coltivare zucche: l'ineguagliabile Poirot. Sarà lui a scoprire che la realtà è ben diversa da come appare e che tutti, anche le persone insospettabili, hanno qualcosa da nascondere. Con uno scritto di Leonardo Sciascia.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd first published in 1926, is a very audacious novel. Why? Ah, but that would be telling! Is it for its complexity of plot? No, although that is a regular feature we are coming to expect of Agatha Christie, and this novel has a goodly share of red herrings. Is it for its blo Leggi tutto
This is one of the cleverest mysteries I have ever read. The plot is dazzling and its execution is flawless. I was drawn into the mystery so easily and, despite following all of Hercule Poirot’s “little ideas” (as he calls them), despite all the subtle clues to decipher, this story – and its ending Leggi tutto
