  • The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Chap 14-18)

    The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Chap 14-18)
    Sep 14 2024
    The Murder of Roger Acrkoyd, Chapters 14-18. A slightly longer one this week as I'm trying to finish the serialisation. Even so, I reckon we have 2 weeks left after this. In any case, Chapter 16 the Mah Jong game is one of Christie's finest - a tour de force of wit and comic characterisation. She really was great. But I'd listen to Chapter 1 first.
