This month's selection is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie, published 100 years ago this month.

One evening, the wealthy Roger Ackroyd is discovered slumped in his armchair, a knife buried in his heart. It is the start of a murder case that spurs the inhabitants of the sleepy English village of King's Abbot to feverish speculation.

The local police are perplexed, but soon a recently retired Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, joins the investigation. The truth he uncovers will shock even the most imaginative of the village gossips.

Voted the best crime novel ever written by the British Crime Writers’ Association, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is widely considered Agatha Christie’s masterpiece. A cornerstone of crime fiction, the story contains one of the most celebrated plot twists in crime writing history.
