Well I wasn't able to guess "who did it" by the end of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. And yet all the clues were there and in the end it made complete sense. So without doing any research this book seems to be like the standard English murder story set in the countryside with a houseful of suspects that the odd detective has to investigate and in the end sits all the suspects down and says "I know the murderer is in this room"... but was this book the first like that? Or just one of the best? It all felt very cliche (yet entertaining) but these things have to start somewhere and this book is fairly old. So let's say an A.
