Damn, now I know why this book is so popular even though it doesn't feature the famous beloved Mr. Poirot. Then there were none is exceptionally good. It really sucks you in and you can feel the anxiety of being on an island with no way to escape and seeing everyone else dying one by one around you. The ending is quite satisfactory a the whole story fills you with dread. But it's also really nice seeing it wrapped up nicely and you are left thinking perhaps they did all deserve it? Every time I read an Agatha Christie novel I found myself amazed at the exquisite writing that noone can quite get right these days. If there was one book i had to recommend from her it would be this one.
