A book that has stuck with me since I first read it. I can still have hours long conversations about it years after. A gripping plot and an interesting moral quandary at its heart.

Great entry into mystery and the queen of mystery herself Agatha Christie. Classic mystery and one of Christie's most well-known for good reason. The poem guides the story to who will die next in a countdown deserted island series of deaths. If you're one of those people who don't read epilogues this is the time to actually read it. Not even the edits and title change could erase the horrible racism of the time

4.5

- This story is quite fascinating and I had quite a good time reading it. The pacing is great and it was quite easy to get through -- just how I like it. 

 

 
It also helps that there was a pattern to the murders and that it was one at a time, thus it was easier to digest.

My only qualm about it was how the epilogue implied that the murderer was someone not amongst the guests, though throughout the book it insists that no one else could be found guilty. I found that quite unsatisfactory.
