Cant say about any book similar to "And then there were none", but I found Dorothy Sayer's Strong Poison, pretty similar to, Sad Cypress, specially the murderer immunizing himself to the effect of the poison which kills the victim.

It seems to me that this idea is a common one...there is some type of "hit list" and people are picked off one by one. I seem to remember a few tv or movie plots along this line but other than the Alien and Predator movie series the exact names escape me. There has to be a good western in there too.
PS a quick search on "movies about revenge" came up with a few more.

I agree that Harper's Island was terrific. The twist in the Agatha Christie story though is that EVERYONE on the island is dead. Its the epitome of the whodunit as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know if u r still looking but have u read Hunger Games. It's not a mystery like this but they r killed one by one although it won't end like Agathe's book(which happens to be my all time favorite mystery novel)

I have heard of another, something about people coming together and getting killed. The Westing Game, I think it was? I think it has many awards as well. I wish I could read it but, sadly our public library can't keep track of books well.

Also, there is a movie called Identity that was inspired by And Then There Were None


There are numerous films which have taken "And Then There Were None" as the blueprint for their plots but not many books. With two exceptions. "A Maze of Death" by Philip K. Dick (a detective sci-fi book) has 14 travellers on the strange planet of DelmakO who are being killed off one by one by a mysterious presence.
If you type in "And Then There Were None" as your keyword search on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk it will list similar books.
"The Ex" by Nicholas Sanders (a psychological thriller) is fifth or sixth on this list of results. I guarantee that “The Ex” is the closest novel you’ll find to "And Then There Were None" but is currently only available on the Kindle.
Hope this helps


Hey, there's a listopia on here titled "And Then There Were None: Deadly Parties."
Maybe that has all you need until you find any others. Hope that helped.
The Invisible Host
This came out before And Then There Were None. It's not bad but can be hard to find now.

It must be so sad not to have access to your library’s books! :(

Yes. I was going to suggest "The Westing Game." I actually read that book first and liked it so much someone suggested "And Then There Were None."



As Jeanine said, I think you´d like other Agatha Christie Books. Un cadáver en la bibliotecaThe Murder of Roger AckroydLos Relojes



My best suggestion is An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena.


The Hunting Party
The Guest List
The Price of Time
The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Ten Dead Comedians: A Murder Mystery
An Unwanted Guest
The Westing Game

The Hunting Party
The Guest List
The Price of Time
The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
[book:Ten Dead ..."
Now I wanna check if these books can be found in the list "And Then There None: Deadly Parties" one about books featuring stories like that here on Goodreads lol!


Its similar to this book , and has a very good climax.
mystery fans should definitely try it.

Try 'An Unwanted Guest' by Shari Lapena. It's about a group of people stranded in a hotel due to a severe snowstorm. The guests start getting killed one by one. Sound Familiar?

One by One by Ruth Ware--recommended
The Last Resort by Susi Holliday--not recommended
