Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Welcome to Raven's Readings.

I will be reading to you from The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, written by Agatha Christie in 1926. It’s told from the point of view of a Doctor Sheppard. Listen along and ponder on what may have happened.. Let us know in the comments.

I do readings twice a week. If you subscribe to my Substack newsletter, you'll get notified of my updates as soon as they are ready. If you enjoy this reading or have other classics you'd like to hear, please leave a comment.

In the last episode, the police inspector seemed to be plodding his way to a solution. He had a murder weapon, a timeline of sorts, and a few definite suspects. Next episode, Dr Sheppard continues his story, as an assistant is added to the investigating team. Note that the novel includes two sketches. The one for this episode is a floor plan of the study—I’ve included it in my SubStack note for subscribers.

Remember that you can manage here which sections of my SubStack you’ll receive emails for—Fiction, Odds and Ends, Podcastings, Sort of a Journal, or all.
