The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Hercule Poirot Mystery

When two deaths rock a small village, they are shocked. But when a third person turns up dead, this time murdered, the gossips are out in force. Roger Ackroyd, a wealthy member of the community, is seemingly murdered behind a locked door, and no one can figure out who would have wanted him dead.
As clues begin to emerge, blackmail becomes one of the apparent motives for one of the previous deaths, but how does that play into the death of Mr. Ackroyd, and why?
Detective Poirot, although retired, is asked to look into the case, and as he begins to dig, every person in the house seems to have a motive.

This book - just wow! I could not stop! I had to know who the killer was, and in the end, I was almost surprised at the culprit. I had some suspicions, but they seemed to be pointing every other way but to the actual killer. I absolutely LOVED this one!
