“In the midst of life, we are in death.”
4 stars. Super entertaining. This was my first book by Agatha Christie (I know, shame on me) and I can see why this one is so well loved and is so influential to the genre.

And Then There Were None is of my favorite Agatha Christie books. It's a tightly plotted whodunnit, set to the words of a nursery rhyme. And the best part is that everyone gets what they deserve, none of them are what can be called good. Some are more unaware of their crime than others, but they're all definitely morally in the wrong.
