The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Hercule Poirot, #4)

Una novela que me quitó el aliento al final y que no me dejó dormir.
El suspense que genera Agatha Christie es brutal. La manera como Poirot maneja la trama es impresionante. ¡Qué calma! Te das cuenta de que lo ha sabido todo desde siempre.
No le puse la quinta estrella porqué pienso personalmente que Christie hace trampa con el lector y no pienso decir nada más.
No dejéis el final para muy tarde porqué no podréis parar de leer.
A novel that took my breath away at the end and didn't let me sleep.
The suspense generated by Agatha Christie is brutal. The way poirot handles the plot is impressive. How calm! You realize that he has always known everything.
I didn't give it the fifth star because I personally think Christie cheats on the reader and I don't want to say anything else.
Do not leave the end until too late because you will not be able to stop reading.

Francesc, I recently read that this novel is one of Christie’s best ever. I really should read it! I am curious about your remark that Christie cheats on the reader!
Christie is cheating because she deliberately hides information that has been passed on. In other novels, she narrates everything and lets the reader come to the conclusion. In "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" the ending is unpredictable because (without giving anything away) there are facts that are hidden and emerge at the end. If Christie had described the situation, the final suspense would have been lost. It is a valid narrative device, there is nothing to say, but, in my opinion, it detracts from it. Nevertheless, of all the Agatha Christie novels I have read, it is the best so far.
Francesc, so I see you are also of the opinion that this is a really good Agatha Christie novel. Well, I should read it soon. I am in the mood for it! Thanks!
Read it, Hanneke. I'm interested in you point of view. Your mood is in the correct way 😉
Una obra magistral! Muy buena reseña!
