The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was my first Agatha Christie novel. True to her reputation, it's a classic whodunit mystery with little for me to speak to. This one specifically had an interesting twist (thankfully) at the end, which is why I assume it was included in this list. In today's world filled with stories riffing off others from the past, the ending didn't come as quite a shock to me, but I can see it being quite an inventive storyline in the 20's when this one first came out.
Overall, it was a quick, fun read but I'm not sure I am interested enough to pick up any more of Christie's works. There's only so much you can do with this kind of genre...(but that's me deciding that without much context so I'm willing to be proved wrong)
Sidenote, did "clue" used to be spelled "clew"?? So weird.
