520 _aWhen wealthy widower Roger Ackroyd is found murdered in his study, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who has retired to the village of King’s Abbot, is drawn into the investigation. The case becomes more complex when it's revealed that Ackroyd had just learned a key secret: someone was blackmailing a woman who had recently died under suspicious circumstances. With a cast of suspects that includes relatives, servants, and close acquaintances, Poirot uses his signature method of observation and logic to peel back the layers of lies. The novel is famous for its shocking twist ending, which redefined the genre and remains one of the most discussed and admired in detective fiction.
