📘And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie📘 – Review

Ten guests are invited to the privately owned island Indian Island, the new owner of which is a complete mystery and has been a question of societal talk. Ten guests arrive to Indian Island but ten guests do not leave because each has been marked for murder.

This book was sitting on my nightstand as my next read for maybe 4 months and I regret not reading it sooner. I will definitely be visiting more of Christie’s work – And Then There Were None was a book that took me a long time to get through, but I binged it whenever I had enough time to pick it up.

The ending, the murderer of all of those on the island – I was speechless. I would not, for the life of me, have figured out who it was. I was so off the mark. And the chapter where the cops are trying to figure it out, their thinking was just like mine and it just showed that this was the perfect cluster of murders that was unsolvable off (and on) the island.

In the midst of life we are in death.

Agatha Christie

Wonderfully written, I didn’t misunderstand anything like I thought I would’ve- because I love reading old stuff, but there’s always some anxiety there that I’ll completely miss the point with the change in language from books written 80+ years ago.

Read on and remember, that book you’ve been putting off might wind up being a new favorite.
