The Folio Society presents newly illustrated edition of Agatha Christie’s The Murder or Roger Ackroyd to celebrate the novel’s 100th anniversary
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd By Agatha Christie
Illustrated by Owen Gent
Secrets, scandal and one of the most iconic twists in crime fiction. Illustrated by Owen Gent, this 100th anniversary edition of Agatha Christie’s classic invites you to enjoy, and then question, every clue alongside Hercule Poirot.
To celebrate the novel's 100th anniversary, The Folio Society presents a newly illustrated edition of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, in their standalone series style, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was published in June 1926, six months before Agatha Christie famously vanished for eleven days.
When Roger Ackroyd is discovered stabbed in his study, the sleepy village of King's Abbot finds itself at the heart of a scandal - one involving blackmail, a suspicious suicide, and a secret worth killing for. Fortunately, Hercule Poirot resides nearby in semi-retirement, devoting himself to marrows and mysteries with equal flair.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is Christie at her very best - a tightly plotted tale of secrets and suspicion, in which every character has something to hide and nothing is quite as it seems. With Monsieur Poirot on the case, the truth cannot remain hidden for long.
Proclaimed by the Crime Writers' Association as 'the finest example of the genre ever penned', The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is consistently voted among Agatha Christie's best novels. It is, famously, the Poirot novel that demands to be read twice: the curious reader cannot resist re-examining what they thought they knew. A tightly plotted tale of secrets and suspicion, in which every character has something to hide and nothing is quite as it seems.
