Overview
One of Agatha Christie's most famous novels, featuring her beloved detective Hercule Poirot--and her most surprising twist.
The story that made Agatha Christie famous ends with one of her most dramatic twists. The villagers of King's Abbot are shocked when a wealthy local widow commits suicide and the very next day her fiancé, Roger Ackroyd, is stabbed to death. Dr. James Sheppard, the local physician, discovers the body of his friend and narrates the ensuing hunt for the killer. All the guests and staff at Ackroyd's country house seem to have solid alibis--except for his missing stepson. But as the authorities home in on their most obvious suspect, the recently retired detective Hercule Poirot unexpectedly turns up and joins the fray. Dr. Sheppard gamely assists the legendary Poirot as he untangles one of the most fiendish mysteries in Christie's extensive oeuvre.

One of my favorites!
Kari S. - 6 years 5 months agoThis is one of my favorites! Poirot is always a funny little man, the characters are believable and interesting, and Christie keeps you guessing throughout. It is very easy to get sucked into this world. The book balances enough description with room for your imagination. I would definitely recommend this one. It is one of the first of Agatha Christie books I ever read and have been hooked ever since. She is now one of my favorite authors.
