The One and Only…
Agatha Christie has been called "The Queen of Crime" and the brilliantly executed And Then There Were None (also known as Ten Little Indians & etc.) rightly supports that shining crown. Simply this is a book perfect for anyone who loves a good crime thriller or has been searching for a puzzle of personalities and consciences that can’t be solved or will go cold and stiff within a couple chapters. Published in 1939 the original title has changed a few times and to the modern reader certain late events can be predictable (especially with the occasional jigs of foreshadowing in sections) but it has stood proudly in the shelves and continues to gather a following of different audiences each passing year. I don’t wish to give too much away of what can be found in these short powerful pages but this is the one and only mystery that can be seen as the clever blueprint to ALL contemporary mysteries, you are sure to come across pieces in this yarn that “just remind you of something” but in this humble reader’s opinion, no one these days on the silver screen or crowding the lists can create a diversion or throw a red herring like Dame Christie and And Then There Were None is the perfect place to start your own special collection of mystery and entertainment.
