Soon after, Ackroyd is assassinated, and Poirot must return from retirement to solve the case.“Miss Christie is not only an expert technician and a remarkably good story-teller, but she knows, as well, just the right number of hints to offer as to the real murderer.” ─The New York Times Book Review “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd makes breathless reading from first to the unexpected last.” ─The Observer “The tale may be recommended as one of the cleverest and most original of its kind.” ─The Scotsman

Considered to be one of Agatha Christie s most controversial mysteries, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd breaks all the rules of traditional mystery writing. A widow s suicide has stirred rumors of blackmail, and of a secret lover named Roger Ackroyd, who was found stabbed to death in his study. The case is so unconventional that not even crack detective Hercule Poirot has a clue as to how to solve it.
