Title: Absolutely loved it!!
Review: I love detective novels and Agatha Christie is my favorite in this genre. She remains undisputed as the queen of mystery.I re-read this book a couple of times and loved it always.I love how Cristie throws in a twist at the very end of the book when I least expected it and the clue can only be solved by Hercule Poirot who used his “little grey cells” just like he does in every book!The ending of the book makes it a five star read according to me.I would recommend this book to everyone who loves a good detective novel with mysteries, as Cristie urwraps the layers and makes the reader guess who the criminal is the until the very end.

Title: Impossibly Ingenious
Review: STARS: ****1/2I’m so glad that I finished reading this book and writing it’s review on this day, the birthday of the “QUEEN OF CRIME”. I enjoyed reading this book but I expected the story to end in a different way. Eh bien, that does not depend on my liking, it’s totally up to the author.About the book: The story starts with the death of a lady named Mrs Ferrars. She died in the most suspicious way since she killed herself. That lady was supposed to have an affair with Mr Roger Ackroyd after her husband’s death(it was also considered based on the situations that she killed her husband). But after her death Mr Ackroyd felt disheartened. He once married a woman who was few years older than him later Ackroyd adopted her son after she died few years later. That boy Captain Ralph Paton was not at all successful lad. One evening when Mr Ackroyd invited Dr Shepperd to dinner he secretly revealed to him about the blackmailer of Mrs Ferrars. Soon that evening a letter was arrived disclosing the identity of the blackmailer. But at last he did not reveal the name of that blackmailer to the doctor. As usual the doctor left with a curious mind. Later that night he received a telephone call saying that Mr Ackroyd was found dead in his room. All the possiblities points to Ralph, so his fiance Flora Ackroyd decides to take help of Hercule Poirot to find out the actual murderer. Now, who can probably murder Ackroyd? the rest is up to the genius Poirot.My thoughts: This story was definitely impossibly ingenious. One thing I absolutely love about Agatha Christie’s writing is that she held up all the probable possibilities of the crime and then finally calculate the appropriate but mostly the truth. Any crime is simple if and only if all the facts are revealed and not a single lie is told. Hercule Poirot knows the technique to get the truth out of the people. He easily identifies the one who has not completely revealed anything. This story is one of them where the utterly developed grey cells of Poirot is being tested. The plot is so incredible when the reader finally reaches the end they will surely fell spellbound. But there’s one thing I felt a bit improper about this story, that is- If Ralph is the stepson of Ackroyd, why was he referring him or was being referred as the prior’s uncle in some place in the book. Other wise the story is fantastic. It only proves that Hercule Poirot only works with his grey cells and he knows everything accurately even though it’s hard to believe- He is one and only one of his kind.

Title: Timeless Classic
Review: Umm… WOW!I remember trying to read Agatha Christie as a ten year old. It was too grown up and difficult for me, so I deemed all her books as ‘not for me’.Next, I picked up this book as part of my course and when I started reading it, I thought the writing was to blatant and childish. Then I continued, and read on and on… And on.And holy smokes, when I finished the book at a quarter past two in the morning, I quite literally woke my mother up and told her to read this damn book because I was so excited to discuss it with someone.I would urge everyone to read this book if they are trying to get into reading Agatha Christie or detective fiction in general. It is a timeless classic and justifiably so. The ending was so good. Unexpected and smooth. It was not abrupt but it left my eyes wide open.To Agatha ChristieHats off to you ma’am.Love,Someone who unfairly judged you books without giving them a go and now regrets it.

Title: Great book but different cover
Review: The cover is completely different from the photos and the actual book you get. Would appreciate it if books were sold the way they are portrayed… The book was completely new and in amazing condition but I was wanting for that specific cover…

Review: This. Is one of those books where I wont i will not say much but just read the book. Else, i will give away spoilers. Poirot is at the top of his game, and while Christie brings him in later than usual she makes up for it with resplendent showmanship. Poirot is never more powerful than when in retirement, and the murder here leaves everyone scratching heads right up to the end. So beautifully profound. Read, enjoy, and luxuriate in the unfolding of the little masterpieces…

Review: I’ve read the book before and know it to be great. I ordered it as a last-minute christmas gift (so too late to return it and get a new one by the 24th), but am very disappointed by the shape in which it arrived. The packaging doesn’t look beat-up at all, so from the state of the book I can only conclude that it must have been used rather than new. Very disappointed.

Review: I’d say that this is Agatha Christie at her best, but I think that about all her books. This one though is clever in the way the story is told. In a way the Dr is a replacement for the far off Hastings, but he is also the finder of the body and so the story is told from his point of view. And very cleverly too.

4.5
