What is The Tale of Walter Ackroyd about?

Mr Poirot has retired to the countryside, where he spends his days growing marrows. But when he meets Walter, a worm with a worrying tale, his quiet life is interrupted. Walter’s uncle, Roger Ackroyd, has disappeared—and so has Lord Mean’s money. Mr Poirot must dust off his detective skills and solve the mystery. With missing relatives, suspicious characters and plenty of funny twists, this playful picture-book adventure gives Agatha Christie’s famous detective a wonderfully wiggly Mr Men makeover.
