Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by the mysterious U.N.Owen. Over dinner, a record begins to play, and the voice of an unseen host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. That evening, former reckless driver Tony Marston is found murdered by a deadly dose of cyanide.

The tension escalates as the survivors realise the killer is not only among them but is preparing to strike again… and again... ([source][1])

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!
