And Then There Were None

By Agatha Christie

"If you’re one of the few who haven’t experienced the genius of Agatha Christie, this novel is a stellar starting point." — DAVID BALDACCI, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author An exclusive authorized edition of the most famous and beloved stories from the Queen of Mystery.

And one by one, they die… Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive? "Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction both for readers and for writers. . . .  Just one book is never enough." — VAL MCDERMID, Internationally Bestselling Author

More to do than suspend your disbelief as a reader

The plot is fast moving but most of the characters are flat and stereotypical. It is an entertaining book; however, the idea that ten people would take the actions they do and all die of murder or suicide is a bit preposterous. The book was likely a good psychological thriller when it was released. Not my favorite. And like many Agatha Christie books, I enjoy the story but I will promptly forget who did it within ten minutes of setting the book aside. They are action-packed but not tremendously memorable.

Agatha Christie weaves a unique and intriguing mystery in And Then There Were None. I didn't find the deaths contrite and I loved the use of the nursery rhyme to give clues not only to the reader, but the characters in the book. Modern mystery writes could certainly use her works as a beacon of how to write true mystery with well developed characters and plot twists that leave the reader guessing. What seems obvious is often not, what seems insignificant is of major consequence and that is how a mystery should be. Certainly a "good read!"

A slow burner... very knives out, clue, who done it. If thats your thing, this books for you. Personally, it bored me.

This was my first Agatha Christie. I enjoyed it. I have to say I've read and seen murder mysteries that were a little more intricate and enjoyable, but this one was very well crafted and certainly kept me interested, even though I thought the eventual solution was rather obvious (at least for "who" - one key detail in the "how" surprised me).
