Agatha Christie’s THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD Part Two – a young writer’s imagination

For part two of our adventure with Agatha Christie’s sixth novel THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD we hunt out her sister’s home in Cheadle, the rather grand Abney Hall. Was it the model for Roger Ackroyd’s Fernly Park? Is there a pond and can you hear people talking from the path above it? And where might a doctor hide a murder suspect? We’ve got answers to all these questions, and if you’re a Christie fan you might be surprised at what we found – not least by our discovery of a book which claims that the biggest mystery of all is not revealed in the book. Whodunnit? Perhaps not who you think! Get early access to new episodes and bonus content Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
