Publisher about the book
Roger Ackroyd was a man who knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her first husband. He knew that someone was blackmailing her. But he also knew that she had taken her own life by taking an overdose of pills.
Roger Ackroyd would have found out who the mysterious blackmailer was if he had read the evening mail that day. But he died first - stabbed in the neck in his study. Now it's up to Hercule Poirot to find out who Ackroyd's killer is.
