September 2018: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

 

Welcome to the Reading Minds Book Club where I talk about books with my besties! This month, Shannon picked for us to read a book by one of her favorite authors, Agatha Christie. Today we’ll be discussing The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Since there is no way we can talk about a murder mystery without discussing the murderer, please remember that there are SPOILERS.

Things to Listen For:

I am a scaredy-cat and can’t say the word “bonds”

Shannon sings the Poirot theme song and shows off her expert Agatha Christie knowledge

Suzie only drinks hot chocolate like an American and can’t say the word “ruminating”

 

Drinking Game: Take a drink of something indulgent that you only allow yourself every once in a blue moon every time you hear any one of us singing creepy background music.
