AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
By Agatha Christie
| Ten
people are lead to an isolated island called Indian Island. They
don't know each other or the owner of the place, and they each have a secret
from their past to hide. They are the only ones on the island when
a storm starts, and they become prisoners of the island. The ten
prisoners try to send SOS signals to the mainland, but no one can get near
the island in the stormy weather. As soon as the storm stops, the
police head to the island to find them all dead. No one else is on
the island, and no one could have gotten on there before the police.
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is considered by many to be one of the best mystery books ever read. The novel drives the reader into the story and he or she becomes part of it. The characters seem so real, and their personalities come to life. At several points of the story, the reader might think he or she had discovered the murderer, but as the story develops, the suspect is cleared. Once the novel is started, it is hard to leave it unfinished. It is so tempting to open to the end of the book to try to know the truth of the mystery, the shocking mystery of Indian Island. |
