mystywitch 's review for:

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
4.25
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is a classic for a reason and has been the blueprint for countless murder mysteries and thrillers ever since it was released.
It's not a difficult read at all but the plot execution is great and modern readers can definitely still find enjoyment in the tense atmosphere and mystery.
The only thing I can knock points off for is, of course, the bits of Christie's views that snuck in there and for a bit of silliness that happens towards the end of the book that contributes to the main twist.
