Ten people, each with something to hide and something to fear, are invited to an isolated mansion on Indian Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear. On the island they are cut off from everything but each other and the inescapable shadows of their own past lives. One by one, the guests share the darkest secrets of their wicked pasts. And one by one, they die… Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive? "Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction both for readers and for writers. . . . Just one book is never enough." — VAL MCDERMID, Internationally Bestselling Author Review: Awesome - I just finished reading my first Agatha Christie novel: And Then There Were None. It is the best selling murder mystery novel of all time. I found it to be a good read. I would give it a grade of a 'B'. I won't give any spoiler alerts, but I will say that the story keeps you interested, and has at least some thrill to it. The characters are relatable, but only developed to a shallow level. The dialogue, at times, can be a bit confusing because the late author was British and born late in the 19th century. So, she spoke classic English and I found myself having to look up what several terms mean. It contained a brief epilogue which brought some closure. It is reasonable in size and can be read from cover to cover within a week. The plot kept you guessing and it was not easy to predict - which I loved. I was wrong several times before the ending was revealed. If you read it, you need to know it was published in 1939 in order to have a better understanding of things like the culture, technology, and social etiquette before you pronounce it is a poor setting or story. Overall, a good read! Very glad I bought a copy. 😀 Review: Beautiful Hardcover Collector's Special Edition - Great GIft for Christie Fans - Harper Collins delivers another splendid Special Edition with “And Then There Were None.” This is the second in this series I’ve purchased, the first one being “4.50 from Paddington.” The cover art is very modern yet is reminiscent of art deco styling. The inner paper art is attractive, if understated. The typeface is highly legible and easy on the eyes. The book is surprisingly lightweight, owing probably to the somewhat substandard paper which probably won’t hold up over time. It appears to be a heavier stock of paperback paper. There is some bleed through from the backside of pages. At this price point I would have expected a few pen and ink illustrations, but this is text only. These are my favorite two Christie books. I might buy some others in the Miss Marple series if I can find Special Edition versions that match these. Overall, pretty good price value with a handsome hard cover design. I only wish they’d sprung for better paper. Story Review: (Spoiler Alert) The original 1939 title was similar to “Ten Little Soldiers” but in wording that would be deemed highly offensive today, so I won’t present it here. This refers to a table decoration of ten soldiers who mysteriously disappear as the main characters are murdered,. These are related to a nursery rhyme, which was a popular Christie plot device. Unfortunately, the revised title “And Then There Were None” gives away the main plot twist before you read the first sentence: All of the characters are murdered. A better title would have been the politically correct “Ten Little Soldiers.” Curiously, the most popular 1945 movie adaptation also uses the title “And Then There Were None” but the storyline is changed so that two of the characters survive in order to supply the mandated Hollywood romantic subplot. So in the case of the movie, the title makes absolutely no sense. The main weakness of the book, in my view, is none of the characters are appealing. After all, they’ve all committed some kind of crime with no sign of remorse. The convention in most storytelling is to follow a main character but here, equal weight is given to the ten victims in order to tell their back story, so this leads to making reader less likely to connect with any one character. Christie’s earlier book, “Murder on the Orient Express,” which has a similar plot, features a detective as the central character giving the audience an appealing anchor to connect with. I think the average reader can figure out who the main culprit is early in the book, despite the author’s attempts to misdirect us. The pacing is quite good until we get down to the last three victims, then we have a rather odd acceleration in the action. Despite its minor flaws, it’s a good read and is often referred to as Christie’s “masterpiece.” It has enjoyed many movie and TV adaptations over the years and is a good introduction to Christie for those who are not familiar with her work. If you like this story, I think her best work in this style is the short story “Three Blind Mice,” which originated as a radio play in 1947. The stage play version, retitled “The Mousetrap,” is the world’s longest-running play, with more almost 30,000 performances since its debut in 1952. As of this writing, it continues to run in London’s West End. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,488 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Traditional Detective Mysteries (Books) #57 in Classic Literature & Fiction #287 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 57,063 Reviews | ## Images ![And Then There Were None - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nChcVy7CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by L***E on April 24, 2026* I just finished reading my first Agatha Christie novel: And Then There Were None.
