The mystery with one of the most famous twists ever written — and the case that made Hercule Poirot a legend.

In the quiet village of King’s Abbot, the wealthy Roger Ackroyd is found stabbed in his study. Retired to grow vegetable marrows, Hercule Poirot is drawn back to work by a neighbor’s plea — and the solution he uncovers stunned readers in 1926 and has been argued over ever since. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is widely ranked among the greatest detective novels of all time.

This Annotated Edition includes the complete novel, an original introduction, notes for the modern reader, and a spoiler-walled afterword exploring how Christie pulled off the most debated twist in the genre.
