  The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

  In the quiet English village of King’s Abbot, a woman’s death appears, at first glance, to belong to the familiar domestic repertoire: scandal, shame, and a closed circle of intimates. When Roger Ackroyd is found murdered in his study, the house itself becomes a diagram of suspicion—doors, timings, letters, and silences that refuse to sit still. Hercule Poirot, ostensibly retired and cultivating order in his garden, returns to his true craft: reading human nature as a text full of omissions. With austere precision and mounting unease, Agatha Christie builds a puzzle in which every testimony is a mask and every certainty is provisional—until the final revelation rearranges the entire story you thought you’d been reading.

  With the summer season looming, former Hollywood sitcom writer Dee Stern has one small goal—scrubbing her motel's unflattering moniker as the "Murder Motel." Dee and ex-husband-turned-business-partner Jeff Cornetta are excited to introduce a family-friendly panning activity complete with fool's gold just in time for the peak tourist months. Except neither could have anticipated the discovery of a real gold nugget or the ensuing social media frenzy. In a flash, the viral sensation draws grizzled prospectors, wide-eyed adventurers, and trend-chasing thrill seekers to the abandoned mines scattered around the woods. 
   
   
   
  The instant popularity proves great for business, but it also attracts a group of Silicon Valley techies with dreams of striking it rich—again. Dee finds herself particularly annoyed by the insufferably smug Sylvan Burr, a retired CEO who sold his startup and won't let anyone forget it. But things take a sinister turn when Sylvan meets a grim fate at the bottom of a mineshaft, leaving Dee at the center of a deadly mystery that could end her days as a motelier. And while Sylvan had plenty of enemies, Dee suddenly faces adversaries rooting against her own success. Now, with her life and the future of the Golden Motel hanging by a thread, Dee must unearth a minefield of suspects and outwit a greedy killer before she finally digs herself too deep . . .
