The Murder of Roger Ackroyd  (Paperback, Agatha Christie)

In a peaceful English village, a wealthy man is found stabbed in his study-just after dinner and just after he learns too much. What follows is one of the most ingenious and controversial detective stories ever written. As Hercule Poirot steps out of retirement to investigate, he confronts a puzzle where every character seems to have something to gain from the victim's death. The tension builds steadily as alibis crumble, secrets are revealed, and trust is shattered. With each clue, the reader is pulled into a world where appearances deceive and motives run deep. The solution-when it comes is a masterstroke that forever changed the genre. A landmark in crime fiction, this case challenges every assumption and rewards close attention.
