"The truth, however ugly in itself ,is always curious and beautiful to the seekers after it."
After reading some masterpieces such as 'and then there were none' and 'the murder on the orient express' , i picked up this book and as always , Christie never failed to shook me again.
So, as the name suggets , this book revolves around the murder of a wealthy person in the village called king's Abbot named Roger Acroyd. Mrs.Ferrars, who was the lover of Acroyd kills her first husband and herself later on, all the secrets of she harboured were to be revealed in the evening post but sadly roger is murdered on the same day.
'What were the guilty secrets she hold'?, 'who had been blackmailing her'? , 'had it really driven her to suicide'? , all of these questions get answered in a very shocking way.
Also , king's abbot is surrounded by other people which includes acroyd's pretty neice Flora, his stepson Ralph Paton, the respectable Dr.Sheppard and his sister Caroline , the village gossip.
They all remain in the circle of suspicion including some servants too.
I think , Christie never disappoints and this another masterpiece proves that ;)
MY RATING- 4/5
