Epigraph

Dedication

First words

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd:
Mrs. Ferrars died on the night of the 16th-17th September--a Thursday.

And Then There Were None:
In the corner of a first-class smoking carriage, Mr. Justice Wargrave, lately retired from the bench, puffed at a cigar and ran an interested eye through the political news in the Times.

The Witness for the Prosecution:
Mr. Mayherne adjusted his pince-nez and cleared his throat with a little dry-as-dust cough that was wholly typical of him.

Death on the Nile:
"Linnet Ridgeway!"
