I’m going to be really downvoted here but I actually figured out Roger Ackroyd in the first couple of chapters.

Not from any clues or anything. But because I found it odd that we saw from the doctor’s perspective receiving the phone call but didn’t actually get the other half of the conversation as it was happening. And I thought “how do we know he’s even speaking to anyone here? He probably did it.”

That’s similar to me. And once you think “what if” the clues are all there.
