This book scared me to death. It was either the first or second book I read by Agatha Christie. The alternate title of this book is Ten Little Indians.

I do not read a lot of mystery novels, but I will defini

Ten people are summoned to an island under false circumstances. After dinner the first night a recording accuses all of them of murder.

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
