In the village of King’s Abbot, a widow’s sudden suicide sparks rumors that she murdered her first husband, was being blackmailed, and was carrying on a secret affair with the wealthy Roger Ackroyd. The following evening, Ackroyd is murdered in his locked study but not before receiving a letter identifying the widow’s blackmailer. King’s Abbot is crawling with suspects, including a nervous butler, Ackroyd’s wayward stepson, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Cecil Ackroyd, who has taken up residence in the victim’s home. It’s now up to the famous detective Hercule Poirot, who has retired to King’s Abbot to garden, to solve the case of who killed Roger Ackroyd, a task in which he is aided by the village doctor and narrator, James Sheppard, and by Sheppard’s ingenious sister, Caroline.
Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan.
Agatha Christie is the best-selling author of all time. She wrote eighty crime novels and story collections, fourteen plays, and several other books.

This book by far comes in my favourite and most memorable Agatha Christie books as you find yourself in the place oc the ever flamboyant hercule poirot looking for the criminal. Its an enthralling reading experience. Till the last 20pages of the book you won’t know who the murderer was, and once you know you’re in for a treat.😁 agatha Christie truly delivers greatness in these last pages . This book is very strongly recommended by me for the the sheer aloofness, standard, pace, and creativity the writer has shown in her words. I stand by my comment and give this book 5 out of 5 stars 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
