Summary: Just get started and your hooked.
Review: After you get going, this is a really good book. It takes a lot for a book to impress me and this one did. The book starts out with 10 people who all murdered someone. They are all called to Indian Island (an island with a mansion on it) for various reasons. When they arrive they all find out why they are there. One by one they begin getting murdered and the point of the book is trying to figure out who the killer is. You'll start trying to guess who it is and be surprised at the end when you find out who it actually is. This book really got me hooked on Agatha Christie books.

Summary: Christie at her most entertaining
Review: Ten people arrive at a large house on a private island, and one by one they die, dictated by the lines of a nursery rhyme...this endlessly imitated scenario is the setting of Agatha Christie's classic, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE.

More than anything, what distinguishes this novel from Christie's other works is that this is the only mystery that actually generates suspense--and by suspense I mean sheer, genuine terror. This isn't just about a murder mystery; it's about a ruthless killer, and you KNOW that sooner or later, every character is going to die.

Even more chilling is the question of just who the murderer is. The killer has to be one of the ten--but is it? The murders are committed so brilliantly (one woman dies from a bee sting) that Christie subtly suggests the possibility of a supernatural murderer, a possibility that never really fades from the reader's mind even though it violates all principles of the detective story.

I might say that AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is Christie's most entertaining work. Usually it takes me at least three days to finish a book, but I completed this one in less than one day. Christie demonstrates some of her most stylish, hypnotic prose in this novel--her narrative literally propels the reader forward. Her characters are flawlessly structured, and the suspense is skillfully maintained.

As for the plotting--although the central situation is intriguing, to say the least, the plotting itself is not nearly as complex and ingenious as THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD or DEATH ON THE NILE. While the excitement of the ten murders is more than enough to keep this thriller going, the story is really not as layered and intricate as one might expect. But don't let this keep you from reading it--the solution is surprising and satisfying, and you probably won't have a more entertaining reading experience. Not quite the definitive Christie, but excellent nonetheless.
