A nice edition with the cover from the dust jacket of the first edition.
A murder in a small English village leads Hercule Poirot into a strange mystery involving a determined, curious spinster, the local doctor, and a wide range of suspects with possible motives and mysterious relationships.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a work of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in 1926 and the third novel to feature Hercule Poirot as the lead detective. Poirot retires to a village near the home of a friend, Roger Ackroyd, to pursue a project to perfect vegetable marrows. Soon after, Ackroyd is murdered and Poirot must come out of retirement to solve the case. The novel was well-received and was voted by the British Crime Writers' Association as the best crime novel ever. Its innovative twist ending had a significant impact on the genre and it is often called Agatha Christie's masterpiece.
Another classic book in the Seawolf Press Agatha Christie's 100th Anniversary Collection!
