Voted by the British Crime Writers’ Association as the Best
Crime Novel of all Time. Hercule Poirot comes out of retirement
in one of Agatha Christie’s ten favorite novels, The Murder of
Roger Ackroyd. Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the
woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He
suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Then,
tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with
an apparent drug overdose. However the evening post brought
Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but before he could
finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death. Luckily one
of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this
normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur
Hercule Poirot.
Characters: 38. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Mystery.
