Master detective Hercule Poirot has just retired and is hoping for some peace and quiet in a bucolic small town where no one knows who he is. Fate would have it otherwise. His new neighbor, Sir Roger Ackroyd, appears to have been a man who knew too much. Ackroyd knew that the woman he loved poisoned her first husband. He knew she was being blackmailed – and now he knows she is dead. But just before he learns the identity of the mystery blackmailer, he too collapses dead – stabbed through the neck in his own study. Whodunnit? Surely the funny new neighbor, Poirot, can figure it out.
