First, there were ten - a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal - and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder, and one by one they begin to fall prey to an unseen hand. As the only people on the island, unable to leave and unable to call for help, they know that the only possible suspects are among their number. And only the dead are above suspicion.

Add a Commenta very spooky book. I loved it.
AMAZING!! i cannot stress that enough, it also reminded me of Harpers Island (TV) which i loved
The end is simply mind boggling. I was so mind blown I had no words.
Love this book: the plot, the suspense, the ending were all great. It is almost like a rollercoaster; all the twists and turns on who the murderer is, but in the end it is always someone unexpected.
Can you beat a classic like this. This is the second time I've read it, and it defintely didn't disappoint. A great summer read.
A great read!
I thought they had 4 copies...
One of my favourite mystery novels of all time. I first read it in Grade 5 and since then I've re-read it countless times. The mystery and suspense never gets old. Agatha Christie at her best.
I loved this book! It was full of suspense and I was so intent on knowing who went next. I thought the ending was very good and I did not see that coming, but I like the ending in the 1945 film better.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is one of the greatest murder mysteries ever written. Putting aside the various updates of racially offensive wording within the pages (including the original title), this story remains a timeless classic. Ten guests are invited to a secluded island vacation home, all under false pretenses. When the island's mysterious host never appears and people begin dying one by one, the remaining guests realize they are caught in a sinister trap. Once you begin reading you won't stop until you discover whodunit.
