The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Penguin Main Series 684. 1st Edition, published 1948.
Wealthy Mrs Farrars is found dead of an apparent overdose, one year after the death of her husband. The villagers of King's Abbot are suspicious, for local rumour has it that she poisoned her husband and was in love with Roger Ackroyd. Was it suicide, brought on by a guilty conscience, or could she have been murdered? The prime suspect is Roger Ackroyd's stepson, Paton, who has disappeared and is known to have gambling debts. Luckily, one of the newest residents of King's Abbott, who has retired to the village to cultivate marrows, is none other than the redoubtable Monsieur Hercule Poirot.
Condition grading: Fair. Loss to bottom of worn spine. Creases to foxed front cover. Marks and creases to foxed rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
