I read the Agatha Christie one and had pretty much the same reaction you did.I bet your teacher had a hard time not saying anything!Queen Mom Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947788522821447557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639675212408846217.post-23385081919054618522016-11-27T20:50:56.733-05:002016-11-27T20:50:56.733-05:00A detective fiction class sounds awesome, and now,...A detective fiction class sounds awesome, and now, I really want to read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd :)Midnight Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421913320445099664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639675212408846217.post-51771174052575356872016-11-27T18:59:28.825-05:002016-11-27T18:59:28.825-05:00Hmm yeah, I usually fall into the camp of consider...Hmm yeah, I usually fall into the camp of considering the murderer as a possibility, but never actually committing to that character as the solution to the mystery. I guessed the murderer in The Girl on the Train too, but it was nearer to the end of the book than the beginning - does that cont? Ditto to Career of Evil, but then again there were only 3 options in that one! Thankfully, any correct guessing on my part does not tend to interfere with my enjoying of the book - I'm usually pretty impressed by other clues the author left in the lead up to the solution that I hadn't considered!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639675212408846217.post-63965208518509548662016-11-24T23:24:04.220-05:002016-11-24T23:24:04.220-05:00I've never read Ackroyd but I've heard it&...I've never read Ackroyd but I've heard it's one of her better ones. And Girl on the Train I DID read and wasn't quite sure. :) I do tend though not to try too hard to figure out- I mean I do a little bit- but I kinda like the ride and the big reveal and I'm always afraid if I guess right it won't be as thrilling ha ha.

Nevertheless, it doesn't take the joy of reading mysteries away from me - it's still entertaining to see the twists the author throws in to try and derail your theories!<br /><br />xxerika soroccohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049551770312132278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639675212408846217.post-8041165241445739742016-11-24T06:06:48.836-05:002016-11-24T06:06:48.836-05:00Aww, I always hate when I can figure out the myste...Aww, I always hate when I can figure out the mystery. For me it happens more often in YA than in Adult but I definitely plan on reading Girl on the Train so we'll see if it's as obvious to me, too.
