Hello readers! We are busy finishing our book of the week, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and since we are both reading it we are skipping our Saturday post and instead will have just one thrilling recap for you on Monday. HOWEVER, since we know many of you may have read this classic before,  to tide you over until Monday, we wanted to give you an opportunity to test your own Roger Ackroyd skills in a little quiz from the AMAZING book What's Your Agatha Christie I.Q.? by Kathleen Kaska. I (Audrey) picked this treasure up years ago at a used bookstore and it's been one of my favorite Agatha companion books.

We will be providing the answers to these questions in our recap post on Monday!

10.) Whom did Flora Ackroyd ultimately choose as her husband?

5.) What was the name of Hercule Poirot's house?
6.) What did Dr. Sheppard believe Hercule Poirot's profession was from his appearance and manner when they first met?
