But this mystery has been twisted and contorted too much so that I can only faintly see Christie. David Suchet makes the best Poirot and certainly the most faithful to the books. ![]() Why not have the narrator in the novel narrate? How bout that hokey ending with its proverbial "shootout" to get the audience's attention? And what about Poirot cracking the case in question? These major departures from the book greatly diminished my favor with this film.

Allowances must be made, but the script from this adaptation meanders a good deal from much of the source material. The novel features the character of Hercule Poirot, a Belgian detective who is called in to investigate the murder of wealthy businessman Roger Ackroyd. It is a great novel and is definitely a hard one to truly bring to the screen(small screen in this case)entirely faithful. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a detective novel written by Agatha Christie, first published in 1926. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is easily one of the greatest mystery novels and particularly one of Christie's best ever written. For those of you who have NOT read the novel by the same name by Agatha Christie, you may indeed think my criticism of this adaptation somewhat harsh. ![]()
