The Murder of Roger Ackroyd broke all the rules of detective fiction and made Agatha Christie a household name. There are two things you must do if you know nothing of this book: discuss it with no one, and read it with all speed -- because it contains one of the biggest surprises in crime fiction.

In the quiet village of King's Abbot a widow's suicide has stirred suspicion - and dreadful gossip. There are rumours that she murdered her first husband, that she was being blackmailed, and that her secret lover was Roger Ackroyd. Then, on the verge of discovering the blackmailer's identity, Ackroyd himself is murdered.

Hercule Poirot, who has settled in King's Abbot for some peace and quiet and a little gardening, finds himself at the centre of the case - and up against a diabolically clever and devious killer.

The quiet inhabitants of Lymstock are unsettled by a sudden outbreak of hate-mail. But when one of the recipients commits suicide, only Miss Marple questions the coroner’s verdict. Is this the work of a poison pen…or a poisoner?

The world's best-selling mystery with over 100 million copies sold!

Ten people, each with something to hide and something to fear, are invited to a lonely mansion on Indian Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear. On the island they are cut off from everything but each other and the inescapable shadows of their own past lives. One by one, the guests share the darkest secrets of their wicked pasts. And one by one, they die…

Some are born to sweet delight,

Some are born to endless night.

Sadly, many who trespass upon Gipsy’s Acre are condemned to ‘endless night’ – usually due to an ‘accident’. For newly-weds Michael and Ellie Rogers, however, Gipsy’s Acre appears to be the perfect place to build a house and begin their married life.

True, Ellie badly sprains her ankle, and a rock is thrown through the window at dinner one evening – but that’s just inconvenient, not a curse.

Then, one day, she goes out riding and doesn’t come back…
