I did it, y’all. I DID IT. I read And Then There Were None before someone spoiled it for me!

✨ 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 ✨ B̷O̷R̷R̷O̷W̷ B̷Y̷P̷A̷S̷S̷

To explain further, I became convinced within literal moments of deciding last year that I wanted to read Agatha Christie that someone would spoil her books for me (namely this one & The Murder of Roger Ackroyd) before I could actually read them, thus depriving me of the joy I would have had upon finishing them.

Is there a statute of limitations on spoiling books? Honestly, I think there is. If I happen to off handedly mention the ending of The Great Gatsby, I don’t think I can get blamed for ruining that for you, you know? (Personally I put my limit at 50+ years - if it’s been published prior to 1970, that’s fair game)

ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, I WAS NOT SPOILED AND I AM SO GLAD

Furthermore, take this as your sign to read And Then There Were None if you haven’t already, because this was such a dang fun read and I absolutely loved how everything came together at the end! Loved the setting, loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the writing, LOVE how a mystery book that was written almost 100 years ago could still be so relevant & important to the genre today!

Though the beginning was a little slow and I’m not gonna lie I was thinking “Why should I care?” For the first like two or three chapters, when it picks up it gets good. I did not guess the ending one bit and it was well explained. I wasn’t think this is majorly far fetched like some of the other mysteries I’ve read. Very well done. Would recommend.
