Who Killed Roger Ackroyd?: The Mystery Behind the Agatha Christie Mystery by Pierre Bayard

2.0

Meh. Not nearly as good as anticipated. I can't get over his declaration that Poirot is delusional (sorry if that spoils it for you). And I see no reason why it's better to say that Sheppard "just knew" that Ackroyd had been murdered because he _didn't_ get a phone call from Ackroyd (and that's why he hot-footed it over there) than to believe Poirot that Sheppard set up the phone call to cover his need to get back to the scene of the crime.

Otherwise, I could go along with his selection of alternate murderer (and will even admit that the psychology fits better).
