The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

About this book

Hercule Poirot's quiet retirement in King's Abbot is interrupted when the wealthy Roger Ackroyd is found murdered. The death follows that of a local widow, and rumours already connect the people around them. Doctor Sheppard becomes involved as the detective examines a household full of possible motives.

What residents choose to say can be as important as what they know. The investigation asks how an apparently familiar village can conceal events that its neighbours have failed to understand.
