DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS, SORRY!
Last year, on my inter-war year module at university, I was introduced to Agatha Christie. Since then, I’ve found myself more and more interested in her novels. Today, I thought I’d discuss two of her novels that I’ve recently read.
The first, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, I was asked to read for university. We were discussing the rise of crime fiction (otherwise known as the golden age of detective work) just after the First World War. In hindsight, I’m really glad I started off with this one. It was a fun read; the murder, the setting (the big, old English country house), and the characters were all truly riveting. After this, I read Christie’s most celebrated novel, Murder on the Orient Express. I wanted to read it before watching the new movie adaptation. Despite not enjoying it as much as the first, it was still a good read.
Let’s get into the mini reviews…
