Aku ingat baru ini buku AC yang aku baca. Awalnya agak ganjal karena gaya berceritanya yang kelewat cepat. Dialog aksinya juga kurang, terus nggak jarang ada adegan yang tiba-tiba. Kayak jatuhnya korban pertama, beneran nggak notis kalau "permainan" udah dimulai. Tapi ya, emang bagus banget buku ini. Misteri pembunuhan yang selesai tanpa ada detektif. Yah, selayaknya kita kalau ketemu sama kasus yang dianggap misterius.
Karakter di sini banyak dan kalau nggak dikasih embel-embel ini si jenderal, ini si mantan inspektur, ini dokter kayaknya nggak bakal ingat satu per satu, walaupun di bagian awal emang udah dijelasin latar belakangnya dikit.
Oh iya, di sini pakai sajak 10 Anak Indian dan itu pintar banget, sih, gimana nyusun idenya. Emang udah curiga pelakunya satu dari 10 orang itu, tapi lama-lama sempat mikir juga kalau ini ada campur tangan hantu dan mustahil banget karena genrenya bukan horor, please. ðŸ˜
Dulu beberapa bookfluencer sebut buku ini as one of their favorite from AC dan aku setuju!

A group of seemingly random people are invited to a mysterious island for various reasons. Quickly, they realize they all have a secret that has led to their invitation.... And may lead to their deaths, as dictated by an eerie children's rhyme. What's worse, the killer seems to be among them-- but who? Will they figure out whodunnit in time for anyone to escape the Island?
This was a quick read and, as Christie always is, was good fun that leaves a slight tingle up your spine. None of the characters are at all likeable (and those that verge on being so don't fare very well), and the ending is a bit of a twist for twist's sake, but this one is worth the read to understand the way modern mystery thrillers were shaped.

There's a character who's racist as fuck and would k!ll a child if it came down to it, but they'd draw the line at throwing out a woman bc she got pregnant unwed which is kind of a wild way to have morals
