  <default_description>Considered to be one of Agatha Christie's most controversial mysteries, &lt;i&gt;The Murder of Roger Ackroyd&lt;/i&gt; breaks all the rules of traditional mystery writing. 

The peaceful English village of King's Abbot was stunned. First, the attractive widows Ferrars died from an overdose of veronal. Not twenty-four house later, Roger Ackroyd &amp;#8211; the man she had planned to marry &amp;#8211; was murdered.  It was a baffling, complex case involving blackmail, suicide, and violent death, a cast that taxed Hercule Poirot's &quot;little grey cells&quot; before he reached one of the most startling conclusions of his fabled career.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I am working my way through all of Agatha Christie's books.I love them. This one has been one of my favorites because I love the narrator and his dialogue with his sister, but really all of her books have been good.
