"Dr. Sheppard has no idea his finicky, foreign neighbor is
actually retired detective Hercule Poirot. When wealthy Roger Ackroyd is found brutally murdered,
Poirot can’t resist stepping in to sort out clues and find the killer. This third Poirot mystery has
all the author’s trademark touches — a pithy portrait of English village life, a cast of unforgettable
characters, and a plot of Byzantine complexity. Due to its shocking twist ending, the book remains one
of the most controversial mysteries ever written. "
