Set in the quiet English village of King’s Abbot, this classic whodunit introduces readers to a world where gossip and secrecy hide dangerous truths and where every respectable façade conceals a potential motive. When wealthy industrialist Roger Ackroyd is found dead in his study, the village is shaken to its core. Retired Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is called upon to untangle the web of alibis, hidden desires, and betrayals that surround the case. As Poirot digs deeper, the puzzle grows more complex—every clue leads to another red herring, and every character harbors a secret they would rather keep buried.
