Considered to be one of Agatha Christie's most controversial mysteries, <i>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</i> breaks all the rules of traditional mystery writing. <br /><br />The peaceful English village of King’s Abbot is stunned. First, the attractive widow Ferrars dies from an overdose of veronal. Not twenty-four hours later, Roger Ackroyd—the man she had planned to marry—is murdered. It is a baffling, complex case involving blackmail, suicide, and violent death, a cast that taxes Hercule Poirot’s “little grey cells” before he reaches one of the most startling conclusions of his fabled career.
