Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all-time, as her books sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in a hundred foreign languages. One of her most acclaimed books is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
The Book Club Girl and Scene of the Crime are hosting a live discussion of the book on Friday, April 30 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, with New York Times bestselling author Lucy Foley, Abby Endler of Crime by the Book, and Molly Odintz of CrimeReads.

Book club attendees will be incorporated into the conversation through a live chat and on screen to share their opinions and thoughts about The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. There will also be a lightning round trivia round and attendees will be entered to win a Christie prize pack upon registration for the event.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was one of Agatha Christie's own favorite works, a brilliant work that confirmed her reputation as the Queen of Mystery and firmly established her as an immortal titan of the genre.
Roger Ackroyd knew too much, certain that the woman he loved had poisoned her violent first husband. He suspected that someone had been blackmailing her, and then tragically, she took her own life with an apparent drug overdose.
The letter brought Ackroyd one last fatal bit of information, but before he could finish reading it, he was stabbed to death. It then is up to one of his oldest friends, and the newest resident to retire to this normally quiet village, Monsieur Hercule Poirot, to take over the investigation.
