Ten strangers are mysteriously invited to an abandoned rock off the Devon coast, The Soldier island. Disconnected from the main island, The ten guests find themselves to be the only people on the island. And with their affluent millionaire host missing they sense trouble. Upon their arrival, they find only Two house staff who haven’t seen their host ever. When the rare gathering sits for dinner, A record playing accuses each of the guests of Murder. Following which, one guest dies of poisoning and the another supposedly peacefully in her sleep that night. The host is missing and the island isolated. That leaves only one explanation, the murder is one of them.
With the third death, it is crystal clear that the dangerous criminal will strike silently again and again. And it might even be impossible to escape. The innocent looking nursery rhymes hanging in each room have sinister undertones. Giving a pattern of their death. With each murder, acquisitions fly and the suspect list is shrinking. But the question that remains till the very end, Who is the murderer and when will he/she strike again?
One of Agatha Christie’s masterpieces, And then there were none is by far the most bewitching murder mystery. The plot is brilliantly coiled and concrete at the same time. It must’ve been immensely complex to thread Ten murders without letting off too many clues. What I love the most about this Novel is how it managed to keep readers clueless till the very end. This book is a must read for Thriller and Christie Fans. Happy reading!
