The first detective story I ever read was Anthony Horowitz's I Know What You Did Last Wednesday, which directly spoofs the plot of this novel, so it was inevitable that And Then There Were None would hold a special place in my heart. This is one of Christie's darker, more misanthropic novels, lacking the familiar comforting presence of Poirot or Marple. Ten strangers, each with a guilty conscience, trapped on an island, with an unknown killer picking them off one at a time. It's the ultimate locked room mystery, and there's no escape, as the tension, paranoia, and suspicion all swell to an unforgettable crescendo.

This is the first and one of th best Christie book I ever read
For some simple crime fiction this book really has a page tuner plot. The story is fast but not hurry.
The way the characters turn insane by time other characters die is amazing

Fun thriller, 2 and a half hours to read.
This is a locked-room mystery turned up a notch - people keep dying and you know that the murderer is one of the group. The paranoia is excellent
The tension mounted by the knowledge of what is going to happen, and the hint of the rhyme is very good
I found the reveal a little trite, but then, I think it was always going to be

I'm glad I read this. You can definitely see the influence this has had on modern mysteries and thrillers. Looking back on all the thrillers I've read, there were several locked-door mysteries that were certainly inspired by this one.
It's fast-paced, exciting, and I was surprised by the twists at the end.

A fast and fun closed door whodunnit! Maybe just over 100 pages maybe this is a mystery with a cast of odd characters invited to the same home on an island where things immediately begin to set in motion. This was my first Christie book and I’m happy it was, i throughly enjoyed racing through this short book.
