Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery. This whodunit had me invested from page one. Such good plot twists! Some language definitely didn't age well.

When people said that Agatha Christie is a master at thrillers, I was curious. But, after reading And Then There Were None I have no doubts that about it. She crafted such an intricate murder plan with complex characters that constantly left me at the edge of my seat. 

The beginning was slightly slow since we are first introduced to the characters, but it quickly becomes apparent that there is a killer in their midsts. I will admit that I (accidentally) spoiled myself and I did not see that twist coming. However, it was a brilliant way to explain how to find the identity of the killer. 

The epilogue of the novel was especially gripping and it was such a romantic way to explain the murders on Indian Island.

4.5 / 5 A-
