The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is third full length Hercules Poirot mystery novel by Agatha Christie. Poirot has quietly retired to the small village of King's Abbott with only Roger Ackroyd about his previous profession. When Ackroyd turns up murdered in a locked study at home from a dagger the the back, his niece requests text doctor to accompany her to his neighbor's home to ask the retired detective to solve the murder and clear the deceased man's adopted son of the murder. With the help of Dr. Sheppard, Poirot slowly begins unravelling the secrets of those involved: blackmail, a secret marriage, a wayward son, and numerous monetary difficulties.
The ending came as a total surprise to me. I would definitely consider this the best book in the series so far. 5 stars.
