And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
4.5
challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

as hard as i tried to reason it out, i couldn’t figure out who the killer was.  there is a reason this is one of the best-selling books of all time. it was paced well and executed sharply. i felt like the characters were each deep individuals, and successfully written as morally gray. the antisemitism and racism in the book is something to watch out for. it’s glaringly obvious even for the time period.
