Ten strangers are invited to an island by someone that they think they remember knowing. All of them have secrets that they are hiding from the world and maybe themselves. One by one they start dying. But there is no one else on the island, so who is Mr. Owen?

I think that this is my favorite Agatha Christie book that I have read. The characters were really interesting and I really enjoyed the way that I really didn't know what was happening until the end.

In terms of the characters, they are all really fleshed out. Each character has a set of characteristics that they follow throughout the whole book. The characters were all really interesting and I was on the edge of my seat trying to guess what would happen next.

In terms of the plot, I think that this is the most interesting plot that I have read in a very long time. It was super twisty and I could not figure out what was going to happen next no matter what. The overall idea was super interesting and I really enjoyed how she committed to the way that the people were murdered. It was really interesting to see how each character would be murdered.

Honestly, I think that this is a very easy book to start the mystery/thriller genre. It was extremely well written and I thought that the plot was really interesting. I would definitely recommend this book.
