Within the grounds of Hailsham, Kathy grows from schoolgirl to young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends Ruth and Tommy leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what Hailsham is. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. Hailsham seems like a pleasant English boarding school, far from the influences of the city. It’s now up to the famous detective Hercule Poirot, who has retired to King’s Abbot to garden, to solve the case of who killed Roger Ackroyd-a task in which he is aided by the village doctor and narrator, James Sheppard, and by Sheppard’s ingenious sister, Caroline.
Cecil Ackroyd, who has taken up residence in the victim’s home. King’s Abbot is crawling with suspects, including a nervous butler, Ackroyd’s wayward stepson, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. The following evening, Ackroyd is murdered in his locked study-but not before receiving a letter identifying the widow’s blackmailer.
In the village of King’s Abbot, a widow’s sudden suicide sparks rumors that she murdered her first husband, was being blackmailed, and was carrying on a secret affair with the wealthy Roger Ackroyd. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie
