I enjoyed this book! I did guess the murderer early in the book but I couldn't have predicted the twist. A short and enjoyed read although a tad slow in places.

I did it, y’all. I DID IT. I read And Then There Were None before someone spoiled it for me! 

✨ 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 ✨ B̷O̷R̷R̷O̷W̷ B̷Y̷P̷A̷S̷S̷

To explain further, I became convinced within literal moments of deciding last year that I wanted to read Agatha Christie that someone would spoil her books for me (namely this one & The Murder of Roger Ackroyd) before I could actually read them, thus depriving me of the joy I would have had upon finishing them.

Is there a statute of limitations on spoiling books? Honestly, I think there is. If I happen to off handedly mention the ending of The Great Gatsby, I don’t think I can get blamed for ruining that for you, you know? (Personally I put my limit at 50+ years - if it’s been published prior to 1970, that’s fair game)

ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, I WAS NOT SPOILED AND I AM SO GLAD

Furthermore, take this as your sign to read And Then There Were None if you haven’t already, because this was such a dang fun read and I absolutely loved how everything came together at the end! Loved the setting, loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the writing, LOVE how a mystery book that was written almost 100 years ago could still be so relevant & important to the genre today!

- This story is quite fascinating and I had quite a good time reading it. The pacing is great and it was quite easy to get through -- just how I like it. 

 

 
It also helps that there was a pattern to the murders and that it was one at a time, thus it was easier to digest.

My only qualm about it was how the epilogue implied that the murderer was someone not amongst the guests, though throughout the book it insists that no one else could be found guilty. I found that quite unsatisfactory.
