Hercule Poirot #4: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (P)
A village murder. A shocking twist. Poirot’s most controversial case.

When wealthy Roger Ackroyd is found murdered in his study, the peaceful village of King’s Abbot is shaken to its core. Just a day earlier, the woman he loved had died by apparent suicide—after revealing dark secrets. Now, Ackroyd is dead too, stabbed while reading a letter that may have unmasked a blackmailer.

Hercule Poirot, retired but never outwitted, is drawn into a mystery full of secrets, lies, and a final revelation that changed crime fiction forever.

A masterpiece of misdirection, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is one of Agatha Christie's most brilliant and groundbreaking novels.
