One by one, the guests arrived at Indian Island, each summoned by a bizarre command. And one by one, with terrifying meticulousness, they were murdered. Ten bodies to baffle Scotland Yard. There was a pattern, cleverly concealed, until someone noticed a nursery rhyme, framed and hung over the fireplace. (back cover)

My first Agatha and mystery

4 stars

I've never read any mysteries, so I thought I'd start with the best. Some reviews said this one was it. Of course, I'd heard of Christie.

I expected a great mystery, which this is. But I did not expect how great of a writer she was! The book bounces between the thoughts of 10 people right from the beginning. The repetition of their thoughts only helps to establish the setting. The rest of the book continues this way, bouncing between characters, revealing their fear and guilt. Each character different, yet in the same position. Artfully done.

Review of 'And Then There Were None (The Agatha Christie Mystery Collection)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I read this book years ago, and I really wanted to e-read it. I have read a lot about I think Chris throughout junior high and high school, and after a while they're all kind of same – but this one is definitely not. Re-reading it was really what I needed! I had remembered a lot, but several of the details kind of escaped me; but I remembered the main points and villains and guilty parties. And I still appreciate the thought and morals that went into it. It really is one of her better books!
