The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Welcome to The Perfect Blend. We saved an Agatha Christie classic for our final March murder mystery. This was at the time a controversial book for Christie because she broke all the rules of writing a traditional murder mystery. We DO spoil it for you if you haven't read it, but that doesn't mean it's not worth reading anyway. Roger Ackroyd is murdered just as he is about to find out who was blackmailing his fiance. The suspects all have motives and secrets and things are not always as they seem. Hercule Poirot uses his little grey cells to get to the bottom of the mystery and outwit a would-be Dr. Watson. If you liked this, you may also like two other books mentioned in the podcast: The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont I Am Murdered by Bruce Chadwick Shelly's tea: Bigelow's Organic Earl Grey Tea Candy's tea: Traditional Medicinal's Lemon Detox

# The Murder of Roger AckroydA classic mystery novel by Agatha Christie that challenges traditional narrative techniques in detective fiction.
