And Then There Were None

This was my first encounter with Agatha Christie’s work, and I absolutely fell in love with this story. It’s fascinating to realize that Christie pioneered the trope of an unseen adversary, methodically picking off characters one by one.

The novel is a masterclass in creating a sense of uneasy terror without resorting to graphic details. Christie skillfully builds tension, leaving the characters and the reader on edge, unsure of what will happen next.

Despite its brevity, this novel has quickly earned a spot in my top 10 favorite novels. Its impact is profound, and it’s a testament to Christie’s genius in the mystery genre.
