The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a novel ranked third in the world ranking of detective stories by Agatha Christie after Ten Little Niggers and Murder on the Orient Express. Recognized as the best detective of all times according to the Association of Crime Writers in 2013. Before Christie, no one had thought to use such an original plot twist, diverting attention and suspicion away from the real criminal. Lady Agatha skillfully led the reader around by the nose! The novel was adapted under the title Alibi in the UK in 1931 and was released in Russia under the title The Unfortunate Poirot, directed by Sergey Ursulyak in 2002.
