“In the midst of life we are in death.”

Chulandon leanday Bradley 

When ten people arrive on private Indian Island off England's southwest coast, lured to a mansion by invitations from a mysterious host, terror mounts as one guest after another is murdered, in a classic whodunit that is an elaboration of the famous children's rhyme "Ten Little Indians." Reader's Guide included. Reprint. 100,000 first printing.

And Then There Were None

A but predictable, but the twist ending was still fun! Kept me guessing for most of it! Also very much appreciated Christie’s note on the book at the beginning—helped to frame the book as more of a thought experiment than a novel.

Amelia Reinertsen

First, there were ten a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. And only the dead are above suspicion.

Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, and the best-selling murder mystery book of all time.

I must have read this when I was younger because I remember bits and pieces. But nothing could prepare for that ending. The setting and characters were immersive. It’s fascinating to see how people might act under such circumstances. How the mind plays trick on us all. I also love how we are constantly questioning how and who could have done it and why. And let’s just say I’m fairly happy with the reveal! It’s fitting but surprising nonetheless.

Pretty much the zenith of the genre, yes?

The OG murder mystery by the Queen of Crime. Definitely a must-read because it's a classic, but not the greatest murder mystery of all time. I enjoyed the fast pacing but the ending was a bit far-fetched imo.

Pretty solid mystery book. Quick to read, easy to follow, but still had some fun twists.

And Then There Were None (The Agatha Christie Mystery Collection)

I think that this book was a very interesting book and I would recommend it to anyone that likes reading murder mysteries that take place in a secluded area. I also can say that I definitely was not expecting the ending per usual with  Agatha Christie book and I also think that you can really see how the times have changed since this story was written. 

Fun murder mystery. Agatha Christie with another banger

And There There Were None is a good mystery but the same can't be said about the book itself. I enjoyed reading the big reveal, but everything before it was lukewarm. There was an obvious lack of emphasis on the characters. Fast-pacing is a good thing since it never bores the reader, however, it is a double-edged sword. I never wanted to drop the book, but the deaths were so frequent that it never gave me time to soak in the repercussions. Furthermore, the general lack of reaction to these murders, by other characters, save shoving the body in a secluded room didn't help either. A novel of this sort should be dripping with tension, but there wasn't enough even to scrape up from the bottom of the barrel.
 
That being said, a lot of tropes and the idiosyncrasies of the writing style can be seen in their incipient stages that would be perfected for this very genre. Additionally, the writing clearly betrayed the time period of the piece, and I appreciated its distinguishable style from modern writings.

Overall, it can be a good read for someone concerned with just the mystery element, however, it is definitely not the writing style for me.

the suspense this story made me feel was so intense it made it hard to put the book down

I did not see the ending coming! I love how Agatha Christie can write a book just short of 300 pages and still have created such an intense, detailed murder mystery.

Very clever locked room mystery. Trying to figure out who the murderer was was extremely fascinating, and the ending is different from any mystery I've ever read

Robi Carballo

This is my first A.C. book and glad I listened to everyone who suggested starting with this book.
I finished it in 24hours, I just couldn't put it down. I need to know what happen, who did it, how and why! I am such a sucker for mysteries.

I love that the book doesn't have to be very long to conclude the story and that's one great point of her writing style there. I hope that majority of her book is like this.

read this as a kid and it blew my mind away.. (pun intended)

Considerando che si tratta di un giallo posso dire che è stato fantastico. L'ho letto tutto d'un fiato in un giorno perchè non volevo staccare gli occhi dalle pagine.

The second book of Agatha Christie that laid on my shelf this month.. and expectedly, much better than the other one that I've read! It's about the secret agents in a little private island to guess who is the murder of all. The author created an easy-plot with different cases to solve which makes this book uniquely amazing! 

I have nothing much to say since I read it in the middle of my quite pack schedule so this book wasn't really enjoyable for me.. Like, I expected so much more or maybe my situation wasn't capable to absorb all the story into the jar. But if you love mystery detective cases with several discusssion (sorta look like a werewolf game) this book was made for you.

"The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell."
