Book of the Week: And Then There Were None By: Agatha Christie

My mother sent me her copy of this book which has the orginal title: Ten Little Indians.

Agatha Christie is a mystery writer that I adore, twists turns, tension, she has it all. She creates the most complex yet simple tales that keep you wanting more. The story begins with ten strangers that are invited to Indian Island, a resort home of the mysterious U.N. Owen. Every guest has at one point or another been responsible for murdering someone, yet each character claims innocence. Soon terror becomes reality and the guest begin to die until there are none. Cut off from the world and fighting rising panic, they scramble to unmask the killer even as their number is reduced in accordance with the Ten Little Indians nursey rhyme displayed throughout the house. Fingers begin to point and trust is lost. As each character claims innocence, you wonder who the killer is. Up to the end the mysterious murderer remains unknown.
