Taglines: Agatha Christie's darkest thriller. Edit Did You Know? Trivia The novel which this mini-series is based on has sold more than million copies worldwide.

It is Agatha Christie 's best-selling novel and also the world's best-selling mystery. Goofs The inside of the house an actual mansion used; Harefield Grove does not accurate match the wide exterior shots which uses a CGI mansion inspired by the real mansion.

As a result, rooms in certain locations are inexplicable, if not impossible. Especially many of the bedrooms which are clearly reused for different guests.

Crazy Credits The opening credits removes an actor's credit when their character has been murdered. It was later re-edited into two 2-hour episodes for it's airing on Lifetime network in the US.

Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Report this. Add the first question. Don't get me wrong - the people accused on the island are undeniably guilty even though it's not necessarily murder as we think of for some of them - Vera Claythorne is really guilty of neglect, albeit with a desire to kill, and Emily Brent is pretty much guilty of being a judgmental über-righteous heartless prude.

And is arbitrarily and single-handedly determining their guilt and doling out punishments not just as much or even much worse or a crime than they have committed?

Conceited, self-righteous crime? Decide for yourself. Speaking of guilt - this novel has quite a bit to say on this subject. You see, many of the characters have already been judged and condemned by their own selves.

Vera Claythorne and General Macarthur both are tormented by their guilt and view spoiler [Vera actually becomes a direct victim of it, after all, becoming her own executioner in the rather creepy and effective scene hide spoiler ].

Interestingly, others, no less guilty, are not tormented by their conscience at all. But ultimately this does not matter at all for their survival; only the fact that they were deemed guilty view spoiler [except for Vera, as I mentioned above.

Remorseless Philip Lombard would not have cracked like she did, had he been the one holding the revolver a few minutes earlier hide spoiler ]. So should being tormented by guilt versus a cold-blooded killer factor at all in the administration of justice?

These are the thoughts that kept running through my head as I was reading this excellent non-traditional critically-acclaimed specimen of mystery literature.

And therefore bravo to Miss Christie for making me think and care - and not just mindlessly flipping pages to get to the bottom of the whodunit.

For all of this, I give it the unflinching guilt-free 4 stars. View all 44 comments. Jan 07, James rated it it was amazing Shelves: 5-favorite-books , 2-fic-cozy-mystery , 1-fiction.

This is the book that started my absolute love of the mystery genre. I was addicted and must have read it 3 or 4 times over the course of the year.

Between the poem, the deserted island, the plot twist, the count-down, the pure clandestine suspense Story Ten people receive a mystery letter from someone they don't know that indicates they should come to a remote island.

Why would they go????? After arriving, they try to figure out the connection between all of them while waiting for their mysterious host.

After coming across a cute little poem about how ten little indians die, they decide they will wait it out until the next morning when the ferry comes back to take them home.

But it will never come! Each guest suddenly dies matching the line from the poem Pure fun. In a masterful conclusion, the reader understands all the connections, learns why the killer chose them to die and develops a very distinct opinion on who was right and who was wrong in this story.

Strengths 1. Plot - can you get any better than telling the reader that 10 people will die and then guessing the order and the weapon?

Characters - All walks of life, all personalities. You'll love some and hate some! Weaknesses 1. Only that there wasn't a follow-up Final Thoughts If you are a mystery fan, you must read this.

You must understand the master before getting hooked on any specific protagonist in one of her other series. View all 47 comments.

Turns out, I did. This was a really good mystery! The story goes a bit like this: 10 strangers each get invitations from someone they think they know to stay on an island resort.

Hells yeah! Well, resort is a bit of a misnomer. It's really a big house on an island. Still, it's famous for being a party place, and nobody in Reread: Because some Non-Crunchy Cool Classic Pantaloonless friends thought I read it wrong Still, it's famous for being a party place, and nobody in the group turns it down.

Almost as soon as everyone is gathered together, a recorded voice booms out through the walls and accuses each of them of being a murderer.

And not just Nope, whoever it is appears to know specific details about each death, and why these particular people were responsible.

Of course, everyone immediately starts proclaiming their innocence! That person died accidentally! I was never even a suspect! Who dares?! However, within minutes one of them falls over dead.

Or something more nefarious?! As the body count rises, they have to face the facts that these aren't accidents. And with each new death coinciding with a children's rhyme that's tacked up in each room, all signs point to a self-appointed executioner in their midst.

After they get organized and take a peek around, they realize that they are quite alone on this island. Their mysterious benefactor must be disguised as one of the guests, and is more than likely Dum, dum, duuuuum!

The tension ratchets up with each body, and the guests start turning on each other in an attempt to ferret out the killer. Eventually, they decide they just need to calm down and survive till the police can get to the island.

Good plan, right? But what if there isn't anyone left to tell the cops what happened? So whodunit? I ain't tellin'. The epilogue is really important.

The book was first published under a different title in jolly old England, but even back in American publishers were far too politically correct to use a title they found so offensive.

I read the book under the authors original title because I wanted to read it as she intended it. The book has inspired radio broadcast, stage adaptations, television mini series, several movies, board and video games.

As the story begins, 8 unacquainted guest have been invited to a very large home on an isolated island off the coast of England for a type of holiday.

When the water ferry drops them off they find their host has not yet arrived but there are two staff members there to meet their needs.

Soon it is brought to their attention that all 8 guest along with the 2 staff members are accused of various murders from their past.

Then the first of the guest drops dead. By the next morning another of the remaining 9 is found dead.

There is surely a murderer on the island and as the story continues to unfold the reader is never given any information other than that which the guest may encounter.

The day of judgement is at hand. This was addictive. A group of people are all individually invited to an island for a summer holiday in Devon.

One by one the guests are killed, picked off, leaving the others terrified and paranoid. It was a fantastic mystery throughout. As tension becomes hysteria, the guests wonder who will be next, who is responsible for these murders and why?

I don't dislike this book. It's written well with an accurate insight on human de And Then There Were None is one of Agatha Christie's most celebrated mystery novels, and purportedly one of the most difficult for her to write.

The Bad: I did not care about even one of these characters past seeing the creative ways the author would kill them off. Probably the most disappointing part of my experience, I was not impressed with the conclusion of this mystery.

Right off the bat, I didn't feel engaged with the actual solving of the problem because it felt as though I was kept at an arm's length from any of the potential clues.

Call me an idiot, maybe this was obvious for other people? But I genuinely don't feel as though readers are given a chance to make even an a semi-educated guess about who the perpetrator is.

It's very: "Oh, by the way here's what happened. I'll be the first to admit I almost never guess the truth in its entirety, but that's beside the point.

I was to the point where I was almost ready to believe something supernatural was happening. Not a great sign. When the truth is finally exposed, I had a hard time feeling as startled as I'm meant to feel because I've seen this story before in popular media.

Now, this came out in the 's and so this isn't by any means the fault of the book itself. It probably came first in every instance I'm thinking of.

But as a modern reader this didn't pack the same punch it might have if I were a reader of the 's.

Anyhow, that's another classic under the belt! View all 55 comments. If you've never read one of Agatha Christie's murder mysteries, this one is my favorite!

Every once in a while on Goodreads I find myself feeling compelled to make a True Confession, and here's another one: I'm not all that much of a Hercule Poirot fan.

For someone who's read probably 30 or 40 Agatha Christie books over her lifetime, that's probably an odd thing. I like him okay, I don't DISlike him, but yeah, he kind of irks me sometimes.

So when I'm picking up an Agatha Christie mystery, I'm always a little bit tickled when it doesn't involve Poirot. This is one of those books, so it already had a leg up on the competition when I started it.

And here's the other thing: with all the Christie books I've read in my lifetime, there are only a handful that I've found really memorable.

This, again, is one of those books. In fact, plotwise I would say it's my favorite Christie book of all time.

Many Christie fans consider it her masterpiece. Eight very different people are invited to an isolated island off the coast of England. Fairly soon it becomes apparent that they all have one thing in common: they've all been accused of murder but were never convicted or brought to justice.

Each person has gotten a written invitation to the island, tailored to their needs or situation, like a job offer or a holiday invitation, most of the invitations coming from someone they don't know who signs the invites as U.

Together with the butler and cook who are already on the island, there are ten people. They gather for drinks and to meet their U.

Known host. While they are waiting, a few things happen: 1. There are also ten Indian figurines on the dining room table. Mysteriously, a recorded voice begins to speak, describing each of the characters in turn and accusing them each of committing murder but evading justice.

One of the guests laughs off the shock and quickly downs a drink. And immediately chokes and dies. One of the ten figurines is soon discovered to be broken, and the nursery rhyme reflects his manner of death "One choked his little self and then there were nine".

So begins an intense tale, as the guests frantically try to protect themselves and figure out which of them is the killer or is it someone else hiding on the island?

And at the same time, they're all dealing with their own feelings of guilt to varying degrees. And the figurines keep disappearing--DUN!

The psychological exploration in this book is great, beyond anything I recall reading in any other Christie mystery, and the reveal at the end completely surprised me.

It was originally actually titled Ten Little Niggers , based on the British version of this poem, which apparently wasn't considered offensive enough not to use in England when the book was first published in For the American edition of the book, it was changed to "Ten Little Indians" and, later, "And Then There Were None" which is the version I have, but still with the Indian poem and figurines - better but still not great.

I understand that many recent editions now use ten little soldiers for the poem. This year I have decided to take part in a women's century challenge in the group catching up on classics where the participants read a book written in ten consecutive decades.

Although I had previously read some of her Hercule Poirot cases, this is my first stand alone mystery of Christie's that I have read.

A suspenseful premise for a case, And Then There Were None left me on edge for th This year I have decided to take part in a women's century challenge in the group catching up on classics where the participants read a book written in ten consecutive decades.

A suspenseful premise for a case, And Then There Were None left me on edge for the duration of the book. Ten individuals who committed murder at one point in their lives have been invited to Soldier Island for a supposed holiday.

Upon arrival, the participants note the quaintness of the island and the home which they are staying in. Yet, on top of the mantel in each bedroom is the poem "ten little Indians".

In the communal dining room are ten salt shakers each representing a person and the same poem. As the group gathers for cocktail hour, a gramophone recording announces the crime each individual is guilty of committing.

Shocked at first, each person comes to terms with the accusation and reveals what really happened to the group.

Christie's participants represent a cross section of society including a judge, doctor, Scotland Yard police officer, retired general, mercenary, governess, and spinster.

None of these primary participants believes themselves guilty of the crime because after all they were acquitted. Yet one of their party believes them all to be guilty, or they would not have been invited to Soldier Island.

One by one the group is murdered, the island is searched, and the dwindling group realizes that there is a murderer in their midst.

The death mirrors the poem on the wall, and as each person is killed, another salt shaker breaks. It is up to the remaining people to identify the murder.

Unlike Hercule Poirot cases where Christie allows the reader to crack the case early on only to have Poirot peal back layers and layers to the case, in And Then There Were None, Dame Christie does not clue us as to who the murderer is.

Even someone as myself who reads a fair number of mysteries was left captivated as to whodunit, allowing me to read quickly until the end of the book.

The participants were also held in suspense, accusing each other of being the murderer. This lead to a revealing denouement, one that had me guessing until the last page.

I have read many mysteries written by women, including many cases starring female private eyes and police detectives. Many of these mystery writers have Dame Agatha Christie to thank for paving their way as early as the s.

And Then There Were None first appeared in serial form, leaving its readers in suspense until the next installment appeared.

A captivating mystery, I am open to reading more of Christie's stand alone cases, and rate this mystery 4 stars.

And There were none is the best-selling mystery novel of all time with million of copies, and the fifth book in the list comprehending all genres.

That is something to give to Agatha Christie the respect that she deserves. Initially this novel on UK was titled Ten Little Niggers , only because the original nursery rhyme was called that but it was obv Extraordinary and gripping novel!

Initially this novel on UK was titled Ten Little Niggers , only because the original nursery rhyme was called that but it was obviously seen as racist, then in USA was decided to change the title to Ten Little Indians , but again obviously as seen as racist again, so at the end the title was changed to And There were none , and the nursery rhyme inside the book was changed to "Ten Little Soldiers", curiously enough none member of any army so far as pointed out as racist that final change.

I mean, the title was just because a widely known nursery rhyme and none character on the book was afro-american or native-american. To this, I want to comment that it's lucky that not many children would had more nightmares since a lot of nursery rhymes have truly scary lyrics.

No wonder in stuff like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Saphire and Steel were used nursery rhymes with truly scary effects. Returning to the novel, it was a remarkable reading.

Great atmosphere where you feel as trapped as those people on that island. I want to comment that at some point I figured it out who was the murderer, don't worry, I won't tell it, and I have no doubt that some would say: "Oh, sure!

I believe you Sherlock! However I do indeed discovered it. This is not my first mystery story. And while that doesn't turn me into a detective, in my defense, I knew who was only because I focused on the "why" and not the "how" that certainly I didn't know that.

You can say that I did an amateur criminal profile and that helped me to have a suspect of my own that it resulted true. Also, I had some advantage for being Spanish speaking since there is a clue that only can be detected due that not matter that I read the novel on English, but taking in account the very detail that it's indeed a printed novel, I catched something and putting together some clues.

Well, I figured it out. Believe or not. It doesn't matter. Anyway, I think that many of the fun of reading this kind of mystery novels is trying to figure out the culprit during the process of reading the book.

Not matter if you guess right or not, always it's rewarding when the mystery is explained. A delicious way to make your neurons to exercise. Again, knowing who was, or at least thinking that I knew who was, since obviously I couldn't confirm it until reading the whole book, it didn't help me to know how everything was made until it was explained on the novel.

Definitely, Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery! Certainly, this novel isn't only a marvellous detective mystery book but also a truly scary horror story.

Writing for The Times Literary Supplement of 11 November , Maurice Percy Ashley stated, "If her latest story has scarcely any detection in it there is no scarcity of murders There is a certain feeling of monotony inescapable in the regularity of the deaths which is better suited to a serialized newspaper story than a full-length novel.

Yet there is an ingenious problem to solve in naming the murderer", he continued. For The New York Times Book Review 25 February , Isaac Anderson has arrived to the point where "the voice" accuses the ten "guests" of their past crimes, which have all resulted in the deaths of humans, and then said, "When you read what happens after that you will not believe it, but you will keep on reading, and as one incredible event is followed by another even more incredible you will still keep on reading.

The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery that Agatha Christie has ever written, and if any other writer has ever surpassed it for sheer puzzlement the name escapes our memory.

We are referring, of course, to mysteries that have logical explanations, as this one has. It is a tall story, to be sure, but it could have happened.

Many compared the book to her novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd For instance, an unnamed reviewer in the Toronto Daily Star of 16 March said, "Others have written better mysteries than Agatha Christie, but no one can touch her for ingenious plot and surprise ending.

Other critics laud the use of plot twists and surprise endings. Maurice Richardson wrote a rhapsodic review in The Observer 's issue of 5 November which began, "No wonder Agatha Christie's latest has sent her publishers into a vatic trance.

We will refrain, however, from any invidious comparisons with Roger Ackroyd and be content with saying that Ten Little Niggers is one of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies yet written.

We will also have to refrain from reviewing it thoroughly, as it is so full of shocks that even the mildest revelation would spoil some surprise from somebody, and I am sure that you would rather have your entertainment kept fresh than criticism pure.

Her plot may be highly artificial, but it is neat, brilliantly cunning, soundly constructed, and free from any of those red-herring false trails which sometimes disfigure her work.

Robert Barnard , a recent critic, concurred with the reviews, describing the book as "Suspenseful and menacing detective-story-cum-thriller.

The closed setting with the succession of deaths is here taken to its logical conclusion, and the dangers of ludicrousness and sheer reader-disbelief are skillfully avoided.

Probably the best-known Christie, and justifiably among the most popular. The original title of the mystery Ten Little Niggers was changed because it was offensive in the United States and some other places.

Alison Light, a literary critic and feminist scholar, opined that Christie's original title and the setting on "Nigger Island" later changed to "Indian Island" and "Soldier Island", variously were integral to the work.

These aspects of the novel, she argued, "could be relied upon automatically to conjure up a thrilling 'otherness', a place where revelations about the 'dark side' of the English would be appropriate.

If her story suggests how easy it is to play upon such fears, it is also a reminder of how intimately tied they are to sources of pleasure and enjoyment.

In in a similar list Mystery Writers of America ranked the novel 10th. In the "Binge! Ten little Soldier Boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

It is a continuously best selling novel in English and in translation to other languages since its initial publication. From the start, in English, it was published under two different titles, due to different sensitivity to the author's title and counting-rhyme theme in the UK and in the US at first publication.

The novel was originally published in late and early almost simultaneously, in the United Kingdom and the United States. All of the instalments carried an illustration by "Prescott" with the first having an illustration of Burgh Island in Devon which inspired the setting of the story.

The serialized version did not contain any chapter divisions. Both of the original US publications changed the title from that originally used in the UK, due to the offensiveness of the word in American culture , where it was more widely perceived as a racially loaded ethnic slur or insult compared to the contemporaneous culture in the United Kingdom.

In the original UK novel, and in succeeding publications until , all references to "Indians" or "Soldiers" were originally "Nigger", including the island's name, the pivotal rhyme found by the visitors, and the ten figurines.

UK editions continued to use the original title until the current definitive title appeared with a reprint of the Fontana Paperback in The word " nigger " was already racially offensive in the United States by the start of the 20th century, and therefore the book's first US edition and first serialization changed the title to And Then There Were None and removed all references to the word from the book, as did the motion picture except that the first US edition retained 'nigger in the woodpile' in chapter 2 part VIII.

Sensitivity to the original title of the novel was remarked by Sadie Stein in , commenting on a BBC mini series with the title And Then There Were None , where she noted that "[E]ven in , this title was considered too offensive for American publication.

This is the best selling crime novel of all time, and made Agatha Christie the best selling novelist, according to the Agatha Christie Estate. It is Christie's best-selling novel, with more than million copies sold; it is also the world's best-selling mystery and one of the best-selling books of all time.

The book and its adaptations have been released under various new names since the original publication, including Ten Little Indians play, Broadway performance and paperback book , Ten Little Soldiers, and official title per the Agatha Christie Limited website, And Then There Were None.

Many older translations were based on the original British text, although the word used to translate nigger was often somewhat less offensive, more analogous to English Negro or Negrito.

Changes similar to those in the British edition in the s were made to the German novel in , [n 1] after protests in Hanover against a stage version using the old title.

The novel The Invisible Host by Gwen Bristow and Bruce Manning has a plot that strongly matches that of Christie's later novel, including a recorded voice announcing to the guests that their sins will be visited upon them by death.

There is no evidence Christie saw either the play which had a brief run on Broadway or the film. The K.

Productions Sherlock Holmes film A Study in Scarlet follows a strikingly similar plot; [35] it includes a scene where Holmes is shown a card with the hint: "Six little Indians In this case, the rhyme refers to "Ten Little Fat Boys".

The film's plot bears no resemblance to Arthur Conan Doyle 's original story of the same name. The author of the movie's screenplay, Robert Florey , "doubted that [Christie] had seen A Study in Scarlet , but he regarded it as a compliment if it had helped inspire her".

Many adaptations incorporate changes to the story, such as using Christie's alternative ending from her stage play or changing the setting to locations other than an island.

Armstrong, and Joanna Monro as Emily Brent. She and the producers agreed that audiences might not flock to a tale with such a grim ending as the novel, nor would it work well dramatically as there would be no one left to tell the story.

Christie reworked the ending for Lombard and Vera to be innocent of the crimes of which they were accused, survive, and fall in love with each other.

Some of the names were also changed, e. Ten little niggers play , Dundee Repertory Theatre Company was given special permission to restore the original ending of the novel.

The company first performed a stage adaptation of the novel in August under the UK title of the novel, with Christie credited as the dramatist.

And Then There Were None play. For this version, Elyot returned to the original story in the novel, restoring the nihilism of the original.

Several variations of the original novel were adapted for television, three of which were British adaptations.

The first of these, in , was produced by the BBC. Both of those productions aired with Christie's original title. The production adhered more closely to the original plot, though there were several differences, and was the first English language film adaptation to feature an ending similar to that of the novel.

In , Spanish RTVE made a free adaptation of the plot as the two-parter The mystery of the ten strangers for the second season of Los misterios de Laura.

The novel was the inspiration for several video games.

First, there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a little 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. A famous nursery rhyme is framed and hung in every room of the mansion: "Ten little boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there then there were seven.

The story is a vast underwater cavern, where nothing flows and nothing ebbs and all is as dark and still as the grave. Even my most harrowing nightmares would have never conjured such a soul-fearing tale.

And Then There Were None was uncomfortable as it lodged itself in the darkest corner of my mind. The questions it asks and the implications it conceals are still twining up my legs like a barbed vine.

I like There is scarcely any comfort to be found in this book, only an ancient, arcane horror. The whimsy of the moment, however, ebbs away when a disembodied message blaring from a gramophone tallies, in vivid and mordant detail, their unpunished crimes.

Memories of their misdeeds, which used to be a distant and blurry thing, suddenly come into a sharp, lurid focus. Death runs rampant with his bloody scythe on Soldier Island.

Each creak and groan is a hunter stalking them, each flutter of wind its breath, close against their necks. This is their sentence coming to retrieve them.

The experience of reading this book is akin to walking through a nightmare; I could not orient myself, did not know north from south.

My heart was a fistful of thunder, my mind a whirl pool of possibilities—each more terrible than the last. The not knowing was like a splinter in my mind.

And as I was tracing the implications of every new revelation, my small, sickly faith was eroding. And Then There Were None is not a light read—it is, in fact, unrelentingly harrowing.

The hermetic, creepy atmosphere of Soldier Island makes a thriving black petri dish of foreboding and distortion. And as each of the characters' haunting pasts come to light and as their secrets swell to bursting, the book becomes more and more page-turning.

But what appears to be a thriller is something far more perilous. Christie imbues the story with a well-observed psychological depth that holds its own fascination.

The surface, of course, is arresting, but the harder you think the further you go, and it keeps on getting more productive.

The mind is an imperfect engine that does what it will with the information it receives. But what happens when fear, true fear , takes hold of it and scours out all else?

When it becomes fractured and wild, crowded with the images of your most torturous evils? What happens when your flimsy attempts at exonerating yourself and asserting some kind of spurious decency no longer stand up under the glaring attacks of guilt?

It is also a forensic examination of remorse—the kind that is sharp enough to slice a man off his shadows. The truth of it hurts jagged.

Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.

They are the author of this horrendous drama—a madman of the most blatant kind who suffers an unconquerable confederation of self-righteousness and depravity.

But what is most frightening is not the depth of their evil, but how cold it runs. Are humans really capable of being this infatuated with the blood and groaning of the theatrics of murder?

None of these characters are, of course, the kind of people you want to roll the red carpet for, but does anyone really deserve this?

If there's a flaw running through And Then There Were None , it's that Christie maintains a respectful distance from her characters, and at times, that distance runs toward dryness.

Overall, however, And Then There Were None is a highly readable murder mystery and a provocative, pitch-black psychological thriller that will be hard to forget!

It is necessary, I promise. When it came to the US version in the 40's someone decided that 'Ten Little Niggers' is not the most marketable title for a book so they changed it to 'Ten Little Indians' still a highly questionable choice.

Only years after someone decided that neither 'Niggers', nor 'Indians' is a fortunate choice Before I begin I would like to apologise for my use of the N word in this review.

Only years after someone decided that neither 'Niggers', nor 'Indians' is a fortunate choice of words for the title so it was changed to 'And Then There Were None' - the last line of the nursery rhyme which in this new version was called 'Ten Boy Soldiers'.

Unlike, say Mark Twain, Christie's use of the word is completely gratuitous and unnecessary. The premise, I am sure you know, is this: ten people end up cut off from the world on a tiny island.

One of them is a murderer and people keep dying as in the nursery rhyme. Every person on the island has a secret and is guilty of a murder.

It's the kind of murder where law is helpless. Nothing can be proven. This is why they found themselves on that island, at the mercy of a prototype 'Jigsaw' madman who decided justice must be done.

The premise requires the structure of the novel to be very organised and clean cut. I felt that it was only right for me to approach the reading of it in an equally disciplined way.

I took five sheets of papers and divide each in half, thus ending up with ten cards, one for each character. And I continued to diligently fill them out with all the details I learnt about the characters until about halfway through the book when I became too engrossed, frightened and nervous.

I already had an inkling as to who the murderer was and was petrified I would be murdered in my sleep as well. The situation was very serious and I had to invite all my teddy bears back to my bed, so they could protect me.

I grew to like two of the characters - the sentiment, I think, I shared with Christie as she liked them so, she killed them last. This was my second Christie, and the first proper one.

The first one I read was a bit of a mishap spy novel, so Christie's brilliance wasn't as apparent as it was in 'And Then There Were None'.

It's almost amazing she could sneak racism into books that have no black characters at all. Really off-putting and uncomfortable.

Many times as this review was getting more and more votes I considered changing it because with every vote it felt like I was saying it again.

Some people suggested I used this as an excuse to say the word, as if I was sitting repeating it with some glee. I can't recall any other times in my life I've used this word, and I suppose I would've found some other reason if it was in fact bringing me as much joy as some commenters are implying.

Deleting this review or drastically changing it now would be disingenuous, though I appreciate it might make for an uncomfortable reading. Now as for Christie, as I said her casual racism and antisemitism is obvious in almost every book of hers, so I think I will just not read anymore.

But this is the one that just comes out on top every time. It partly, and quite amusingly, reminds me of that old American murder mystery in Sunset Beach.

Basically, they're the only ones on this island and someone is killing them off one by one in accordance with the Ten Little Indians rhyme. And I swear I never saw it coming, and I'm usually very good at it.

It's just a very cl I'm a big lover of Agatha Christie, she has written some fantastic murder mysteries and her stories never get tiring.

It's just a very clever novel, full of mystery and suspense and easily quite frightening at times. I like how Agatha Christie doesn't have to write a page novel with a massive back story, her mysteries are very simply put together but always clever and hard to decipher.

I would recommend this book to everyone. View all 35 comments. This lovely mystery book is first and foremost about the administration of the long-overdue justice, right?

At least that's what the mastermind behind it all believes. But the question is - who has the right to decide what justice is?

And who is to decide what punishment serves the crime? And is perceived justice at all costs the ultimate goal, or is it the frequently pointless work of a maniac?

As a matter of fact, what is justice after all? I think the story of this book the one that may win th This lovely mystery book is first and foremost about the administration of the long-overdue justice, right?

I think the story of this book the one that may win the contest for the most offensive original title, after all is familiar to most readers.

It is a lovely and fascinating idea. Ten people are lured onto a remote island under false pretenses just to realize that they are all about to be punished by death for the 'crimes' that they have committed in the past and have gotten away with.

Killed in a manner predicted by a silly yet ominous children's poem with the conclusion of " What's more, they come to realize that the mastermind - or maniac?

Continuing to socialize and take meals together. Insisting on chivalry when a woman could be the murderer just as well as a man view spoiler [this viewing of women as shrinking violets was what cost Philip Lombard his life in the end!

Everyone deciding to stick together and be careful - but never including the servants in it. The belief by some that people of 'proper class' would be incapable of murder view spoiler [Doctor Amstrong becomes a victim of just this reasoning hide spoiler ].

The list can go on and on. And all of these assumptions prove to be wrong. And as, despite the precautions, the number of people trapped on the island continues to decline, the uneasy tension sets in, and the impeccable facades begin to crack.

It has a neat resolution despite an obvious plot hole view spoiler [ - Wargrave's brains will be all over the bed on which he was NOT supposed to have died!

It's an enjoyable read to say the least. But what made me unsettled both of the times I read it was the nagging question of justice, as I mentioned above.

Yes, on one hand, it's almost poetic justice to punish the criminals who thought they got away with it. On the other hand, is eye-for-an-eye the best way to get even?

And who's to judge, anyway? Who is either conceited enough or deranged enough to assume that he has the right and the moral authority to determine guilt and the extent of punishment just like that?

Don't get me wrong - the people accused on the island are undeniably guilty even though it's not necessarily murder as we think of for some of them - Vera Claythorne is really guilty of neglect, albeit with a desire to kill, and Emily Brent is pretty much guilty of being a judgmental über-righteous heartless prude.

And is arbitrarily and single-handedly determining their guilt and doling out punishments not just as much or even much worse or a crime than they have committed?

Conceited, self-righteous crime? Decide for yourself. Speaking of guilt - this novel has quite a bit to say on this subject. You see, many of the characters have already been judged and condemned by their own selves.

Vera Claythorne and General Macarthur both are tormented by their guilt and view spoiler [Vera actually becomes a direct victim of it, after all, becoming her own executioner in the rather creepy and effective scene hide spoiler ].

Interestingly, others, no less guilty, are not tormented by their conscience at all. But ultimately this does not matter at all for their survival; only the fact that they were deemed guilty view spoiler [except for Vera, as I mentioned above.

Remorseless Philip Lombard would not have cracked like she did, had he been the one holding the revolver a few minutes earlier hide spoiler ].

So should being tormented by guilt versus a cold-blooded killer factor at all in the administration of justice?

These are the thoughts that kept running through my head as I was reading this excellent non-traditional critically-acclaimed specimen of mystery literature.

And therefore bravo to Miss Christie for making me think and care - and not just mindlessly flipping pages to get to the bottom of the whodunit.

For all of this, I give it the unflinching guilt-free 4 stars. View all 44 comments. Jan 07, James rated it it was amazing Shelves: 5-favorite-books , 2-fic-cozy-mystery , 1-fiction.

This is the book that started my absolute love of the mystery genre. I was addicted and must have read it 3 or 4 times over the course of the year.

Between the poem, the deserted island, the plot twist, the count-down, the pure clandestine suspense Story Ten people receive a mystery letter from someone they don't know that indicates they should come to a remote island.

Why would they go????? After arriving, they try to figure out the connection between all of them while waiting for their mysterious host. After coming across a cute little poem about how ten little indians die, they decide they will wait it out until the next morning when the ferry comes back to take them home.

But it will never come! Each guest suddenly dies matching the line from the poem Pure fun. In a masterful conclusion, the reader understands all the connections, learns why the killer chose them to die and develops a very distinct opinion on who was right and who was wrong in this story.

Strengths 1. Plot - can you get any better than telling the reader that 10 people will die and then guessing the order and the weapon?

Characters - All walks of life, all personalities. You'll love some and hate some! Weaknesses 1. Only that there wasn't a follow-up Final Thoughts If you are a mystery fan, you must read this.

You must understand the master before getting hooked on any specific protagonist in one of her other series. View all 47 comments.

Turns out, I did. This was a really good mystery! The story goes a bit like this: 10 strangers each get invitations from someone they think they know to stay on an island resort.

Hells yeah! Well, resort is a bit of a misnomer. It's really a big house on an island. Still, it's famous for being a party place, and nobody in Reread: Because some Non-Crunchy Cool Classic Pantaloonless friends thought I read it wrong Still, it's famous for being a party place, and nobody in the group turns it down.

Almost as soon as everyone is gathered together, a recorded voice booms out through the walls and accuses each of them of being a murderer.

And not just Nope, whoever it is appears to know specific details about each death, and why these particular people were responsible.

Of course, everyone immediately starts proclaiming their innocence! That person died accidentally! I was never even a suspect!

Who dares?! However, within minutes one of them falls over dead. Or something more nefarious?! As the body count rises, they have to face the facts that these aren't accidents.

And with each new death coinciding with a children's rhyme that's tacked up in each room, all signs point to a self-appointed executioner in their midst.

After they get organized and take a peek around, they realize that they are quite alone on this island. Their mysterious benefactor must be disguised as one of the guests, and is more than likely Dum, dum, duuuuum!

The tension ratchets up with each body, and the guests start turning on each other in an attempt to ferret out the killer. Eventually, they decide they just need to calm down and survive till the police can get to the island.

Good plan, right? But what if there isn't anyone left to tell the cops what happened? So whodunit? I ain't tellin'. The epilogue is really important.

I read the book under the authors original title because I wanted to read it as she intended it. The book has inspired radio broadcast, stage adaptations, television mini series, several movies, board and video games.

As the story begins, 8 unacquainted guest have been invited to a very large home on an isolated island off the coast of England for a type of holiday.

When the water ferry drops them off they find their host has not yet arrived but there are two staff members there to meet their needs.

Soon it is brought to their attention that all 8 guest along with the 2 staff members are accused of various murders from their past. Then the first of the guest drops dead.

By the next morning another of the remaining 9 is found dead. There is surely a murderer on the island and as the story continues to unfold the reader is never given any information other than that which the guest may encounter.

The day of judgement is at hand. This was addictive. A group of people are all individually invited to an island for a summer holiday in Devon.

One by one the guests are killed, picked off, leaving the others terrified and paranoid. It was a fantastic mystery throughout. As tension becomes hysteria, the guests wonder who will be next, who is responsible for these murders and why?

I don't dislike this book. It's written well with an accurate insight on human de And Then There Were None is one of Agatha Christie's most celebrated mystery novels, and purportedly one of the most difficult for her to write.

The Bad: I did not care about even one of these characters past seeing the creative ways the author would kill them off. Probably the most disappointing part of my experience, I was not impressed with the conclusion of this mystery.

Right off the bat, I didn't feel engaged with the actual solving of the problem because it felt as though I was kept at an arm's length from any of the potential clues.

Call me an idiot, maybe this was obvious for other people? But I genuinely don't feel as though readers are given a chance to make even an a semi-educated guess about who the perpetrator is.

It's very: "Oh, by the way here's what happened. I'll be the first to admit I almost never guess the truth in its entirety, but that's beside the point.

I was to the point where I was almost ready to believe something supernatural was happening. Not a great sign. When the truth is finally exposed, I had a hard time feeling as startled as I'm meant to feel because I've seen this story before in popular media.

Now, this came out in the 's and so this isn't by any means the fault of the book itself. It probably came first in every instance I'm thinking of.

But as a modern reader this didn't pack the same punch it might have if I were a reader of the 's. Anyhow, that's another classic under the belt! View all 55 comments.

If you've never read one of Agatha Christie's murder mysteries, this one is my favorite! Every once in a while on Goodreads I find myself feeling compelled to make a True Confession, and here's another one: I'm not all that much of a Hercule Poirot fan.

For someone who's read probably 30 or 40 Agatha Christie books over her lifetime, that's probably an odd thing. I like him okay, I don't DISlike him, but yeah, he kind of irks me sometimes.

So when I'm picking up an Agatha Christie mystery, I'm always a little bit tickled when it doesn't involve Poirot. This is one of those books, so it already had a leg up on the competition when I started it.

And here's the other thing: with all the Christie books I've read in my lifetime, there are only a handful that I've found really memorable.

This, again, is one of those books. In fact, plotwise I would say it's my favorite Christie book of all time. Many Christie fans consider it her masterpiece.

Eight very different people are invited to an isolated island off the coast of England. Fairly soon it becomes apparent that they all have one thing in common: they've all been accused of murder but were never convicted or brought to justice.

Each person has gotten a written invitation to the island, tailored to their needs or situation, like a job offer or a holiday invitation, most of the invitations coming from someone they don't know who signs the invites as U.

Together with the butler and cook who are already on the island, there are ten people. They gather for drinks and to meet their U.

Known host. While they are waiting, a few things happen: 1. There are also ten Indian figurines on the dining room table. Mysteriously, a recorded voice begins to speak, describing each of the characters in turn and accusing them each of committing murder but evading justice.

One of the guests laughs off the shock and quickly downs a drink.
