"The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" by Agatha Christie is a classic detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Dr. James Sheppard, a country physician who becomes embroiled in the investigation of a murder that shakes the small village of King’s Abbot. The central mystery revolves around the death of Roger Ackroyd, who is found murdered in his study shortly after receiving a mysterious confession letter from a deceased local widow, Mrs. Ferrars. At the start of the book, Dr. Sheppard recounts the events leading up to the shocking murder of Roger Ackroyd. The narrative begins with the death of Mrs. Ferrars, which stirs up local gossip and suspicion among the residents, particularly in relation to her past with Ackroyd. As theories emerge, including those from Dr. Sheppard's inquisitive sister Caroline, a complex web of relationships and potential motives is established. The chapter concludes with a sense of foreboding as Ackroyd is later found dead with a dagger in his back, leading to urgent inquiries and heightened tension in the village, setting the stage for a classic whodunit investigation.
