Book: And Then There Were None

Title: And Then There Were None

Author: Agatha Christie

Genre: Mystery/Thriller

Rating: 4/5

First and foremost, this is the first book I've read written by Agatha Christie.

The story is about 10 people with all different backgrounds being invited to a private island. The host is someone they knew about vaguely but were given valid and just enough reason for them to agree for the visit.

Upon their arrival, they were shocked to witness something of their past being revealed. Their past had something in common; some secret which led to someone else's death. The host plans to kill each one of them on that island and provide justice to all what they have done in their past.

The story gets interesting immediately after few turns of pages and the plot never takes off readers' attention. There are many twists and turns as each one of them is confronted with death. They try to find who the killer is but it will be too late. They will be dead before anyone finds out. Yes, the mystery is not solved by the investigating police as well. And don't worry, the book never ends with no answer. It does reveal the killer (or should I say, the author?!) through a smart way which the killer had devised in the plot.

Frankly speaking, during the narration I found few faults in the story like:

- Even in that dire situation when they know all of them will be dead, Mr & Mrs Rogers, the cook and help, continue to provide their service to all others obediently. And that I find very strange.

- And even in the scene where the Justice Wargrave was killed. I mean, how can a person be sitting on a chair when everybody else ran to Vera's room to find what happened there.

Till the very end, the reader is kept guessing as who is the killer and how could it happen. A good read and a different way to end as well.
