The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

Dr James Sheppard lives with his sister Caroline. Caroline always seems to know everything before he does, including who has died and how.    

Dr Sheppard receives a phone call telling him that Roger Ackroyd is dead.  He has only been with him a few hours beforehand and he had seemed to be ok.  When Dr Sheppard gets back to the house the room that Roger is in is locked from the inside and the key is still in the lock.  The door has to be forced to gain entry.  Once inside they find Roger has been stabbed and is dead.  The butler denied having made the phone call to the doctor.  The police are struggling to find the answers and so bring in Hercule Poirot as a consultant as he has recently moved in to the village.  He needs to work out how Roger was murdered within a locked a room and how the murderer escaped.
