A great book, I definitely did not see the ending coming until 2 or 3 paragraphs before the twist.

> The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is the supreme, the ultimate detective novel. It rests upon the most elegant of all twists.

But it works best if you first read a few of the others, like the ones mentioned above, or the Miss Marple books The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, A Pocket Full of Rye, or They Do It with Mirrors.
