Writer: Agatha Christie
Genre: Fiction/Thriller
This book is considered Agatha Christie's masterpiece. I couldn't agree more. I had read the book as a kiddo and remember loving it. After so many years the thriller managed to hook me.
In Kings Abbot the death of Mrs.Ferrars is seen as suicide by some and just plain accident by some. However soon Mr.Ackroyd is also killed and before his death he had revealed some secrets to the narrator of the book Dr.Sheppard. The famous detective, Mr.Poirot soon begins the investigation of the case whose prime suspect is Ackroyd's stepson Ralph Paton.
This was one of the early books where the climax is different; I mean at least according to those times. Indeed a beautiful thriller that deserves a place in your book shelf.
