Book synopsis
In the quiet village of King’s Abbot, the sudden death of Mrs. Ferrars sparks a wave of local gossip, but tragedy strikes even closer to home when the wealthy Roger Ackroyd is found murdered. Dr. James Sheppard, the local physician and narrator, finds himself pulled into a web of secrets involving missing heirs, mysterious housekeepers, and hidden motives. When his new neighbor—the eccentric and retired Hercule Poirot—is persuaded to investigate, the search for the truth begins in earnest. This quintessential mystery challenges readers to question every alibi and every character's word in one of the most famous whodunits of all time.

The dialogue is sharp and never feels forced. I will be looking for the author's other work.
