The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

A quiet English village. A devastating betrayal. A murder that changed the history of detective fiction forever.
In the peaceful village of King's Abbot, wealthy widower Roger Ackroyd knows too much. He knows the woman he loves poisoned her brutal first husband. He knows she was being blackmailed. And now, he knows she has taken her own life to escape the torment. But the very evening he receives a fatal letter containing the blackmailer's name, Ackroyd is brutally stabbed to death in his locked study.
Enter a peculiar, egg-headed little man who has recently retired to the village to grow vegetable marrows: the legendary Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. Reluctantly drawn into the case, Poirot must navigate a web of greedy relatives, secretive servants, and hidden agendas alongside the local physician, Dr. James Sheppard. Every suspect has a motive. Every alibi is seemingly flawless. But Poirot's little grey cells are about to uncover a truth so shocking it will leave you completely breathless.
