And Then There Were None is the signature novel of Agatha Christie, the most beloved work of the world's bestselling novelist. It is a masterpiece of mystery and suspense that has been a fixture in popular literature for more than sixty years, a brilliant tale that remains as compelling today as ever.
First there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a private island off the-coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to any of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder, and one by one they begin to fall prey to an unseen hand. As the only people on the island, unable to leave and unable to call for help, they know that the only possible suspects are among their number. And only the dead are above suspicion.
Also published as "Ten Little Indians"

It is Agatha Christie at her best. It is Crime-Thriller at it's best.
This is quite different from all her stories. DARKER! WAY DARKER! This lends it to the story, overall! This mystery story cleverly recounts the murders of 10 guests at an opulent mansion on a sporadic ocean island from which retreat is rendered impossible by the stormy weather which further contributes to the crepitating atmosphere. Each guest has a dark secret which makes them an inevitable victim and their mysterious host has not yet arrived, so which one is the murderer?
You'll NEVER guess it, even if you do, you'll never guess the ending! Because it's absolutely genius!
They don't call her the queen of mystery for nothing, that's for sure. I had no idea what was coming, and i frequently found myself stopping to re-examine who i thought was behind it all. Needless to say... I was never right. All hail Agatha, this was amazing.
Thought I was smart and then the epilogue humbled me. Great pacing and an enjoyable read
