Why don't you post it in the Agatha Christie monthly Carnival over at http://acrccarnival.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD either. I thought the same effect worked much better in THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT.

I too fear going thru my collection of mysteries for the fear of running thru them and then have nothing to read on the day when I particularly want to read a gripping mystery. <br />neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.com
