Agatha Christie's masterwork introduces the retired Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, coaxed out of his quiet rural retirement to unravel a web of blackmail, hidden identities, and carefully constructed lies. Narrated by the village doctor, Dr. James Sheppard, the novel unfolds with Christie's signature blend of cozy atmosphere and razor-sharp suspense, drawing readers into a seemingly tight-knit community where everyone harbors a motive. The story builds to one of the most audacious and celebrated twists in the history of crime fiction, a revelation that permanently redefined the boundaries of the genre. Widely regarded as Christie's finest achievement, it remains an essential and thrilling read for any admirer of the classic whodunit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887919444187,"sku":"2026200007825-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/371c88c6-01fd-4264-8ced-a2c6834efe4c.png?v=1781749259","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007825-secondhand-the-murder-of-roger-ackroyd","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
