Alan Dudley Director: Enyd Williams First broadcast:  Thu 24th Dec 1987 19:45 on BBC Radio 4 FM Considered to be one of Agatha Christie's most controversial mysteries, The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd breaks the rules of traditional mystery. Known for its startling reveal, this is the book that changed Agatha Christie’s career. Roger Ackroyd was a man who knew too much. He knew the woman he loved had poisoned her first husband. He knew someone was blackmailing her – and now he knew she had taken her own life with a drug overdose. Soon the evening post would let him know who the mystery blackmailer was. But Ackroyd was dead before he’d finished reading it – stabbed through the neck where he sat in the study. The story formed the basis of the earliest adaptation of Christie’s work. English dramatist Michael Morton adapted the book into a play, Alibi, which opened at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London in 1928 and successfully ran for 250 performances.

Good but is there a way to read while also listening ? I know it is an audio book but is there a written section? I don't find the written section of the story and I prefer to also read that way I can stay focused but the reading was great just adhd takes it toll sometimes and I seeing while listening helps me focus

Straightforward and appropriate. Invites one to ask, "Whodunit?"

Fascinating. Not at all boring. Moves along at a nice clip, and comes to a shocking end. Kudos to all. Thanks. Cheers.
