And Then There Were None
Some guests are invited to a lonely mansion on Indian Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear. First there were ten, each with something to hide and something to fear. 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. This is considered by many readers the best mystery novel ever written.

I don't know the original book, but as far as my understanding goes it is probably a fair bit longer and and written in a better style.
This book adapts the story briefly, the characters are very shallowly introduced and sentences are designed to be understandable to the pre-intermediate level and therefore short and easy to understand without much thought put into them.
I enjoyed the premise of the book, but not its execution with its low level english writing style.
