Search - And Then There Were None

Never have I read a book so articulate! If you can guess the solution before the very last chapter, then you must be a genius. And even then, your questions of how it was done aren't answered until the very last paragraph! Absolutely amazing, and I only hope Agatha Christie's other books are this incredible!

Arguably Christie's masterpiece, and certainly her darkest tale, And Then There Were None takes you to Indian Island where 10 strangers have been lured to face the unspeakable crime each has committed and gotten away with....until now. As each of the 10 die one by one, the other realize the net is closing in and there's no way to discover their unknown avenger or escape his or her unerring execution of justice. Brilliantly written, you can feel the atmosphere of suspicion and dread growing with each death and a twist ending that only the most astute will see coming.

This was my first foray into the Queen of Crime: Agatha Christie's extensive catalouge. The book is a little slow in the beginning to the point I almost put it down. Now that would have been a dreadful mistake because as soon as the cast of characters get on Indian Island I could not put the book down. Christie paints a vivid portrait that reveals how deadly secrets can be. Absolutely wonderful read and hope you pick it up and enjoy it as much as I did.

I read this when I was in high school. My mom recommended this book by Agatha Christie and said she was just a great author and I might enjoy it. I understood the storyline and while I did finish it, I remember fairly little.

I do want to say, its written in older English dialect so some people might have a tough time understanding what she is writing. That was one of my problems, a lot of the words were confusing to me. But now, 10 years later, I might understand it better.

older publication but still a good read. First published under a different name.

Not as good as I had hoped, just still suspenseful. This was my first Agatha Christie book so I think I'll try another.
