Work detailsAnd Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (1939)
Seeing the stage production of Ten Little Indians back when I was in Jr. High was my introduction to the whodunit genre, and this story has stuck with me ever since. The book doesn't have the same impact as the play, the writing seems very dated and stodgy, but the intricacy of the plot still shines through. (  ) 5hrdrive | May 14, 2013 |  Debeste A.C. (the murder in the Oriënt Express heb ik niet gelezen omdat ik de clou al kende) (  ) EMS_24 | Apr 17, 2013 | Wow! Just when I thought Agatha Christie couldn't get any better, I read this! I'm truly in awe with the mystery master :) It's a good thing I read the epilogue and the end note; I admit I don't always do with books, but now I definitely will. Great read! (  )1  Dnaej | Apr 6, 2013 | Another one I read a long time ago -- my grandmother introduced me to Agatha Christie and I probably first read this while in high school. Around the time this edition was published there was a movie version, and so I probably read it again at that time. Lots of suspense and the typical complicated Christie plot. Recommended. ( ) auntieknickers | Apr 3, 2013 | Always clever, Christie threw me off the right trail again. I should have stuck with my gut. ( )1 zeteticat | Apr 2, 2013 |
 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.  The mystery is foolproof. The solution is fair. It all fits together at the end.
