Ten strangers were gathered on an isolated island. Each was accused of having committed murder in the past. And Then…

There were None…

The book is a fantastic murder mayhem mystery. There is no Miss Marple. There is no Monsieur Poirot. There are just… murders… mystery… and lots of maybes….

I love the suspense and the wonder of how exactly is the murderer going to be revealed or whether it will be revealed at all. I love Miss Marple & Monsieur Poirot but I reckon this is one of Christie's best work ...more

Ten people are summoned to an island under false circumstances. After dinner the first night a recording accuses all of them of murder. Soon the inhabitants begin being murdered in connection to a children's rhyme found in everyone's bedrooms. I first read this book in the 1980's and this is my first time re-reading it. Even with that lapse of time I still remembered who the murderer was and some of the plot points. The book is relatively short but masterfully ratchets up the suspense as fewer p ...more

I recently played a computer game based on this book. I was quite surprised by the ending, however, as it was different from the computer game and much more inventive.
