Cuando empecé el libro no podía parar de leerlo y me lo leí de un día para otro. Me enganchó de la primera página a la última porque necesitaba saber el causante de todo y, aunque dudaba fuertemente entre dos personas en concreto, no fueron ninguna de ellas. Este es el primer libro que me leo de la autora y me ha volado la cabeza.

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-

Honestly the only reason this is a 3 star instead of a two star is because I couldn’t guess who did it. The story seemed very repetitive and I struggled to keep engaged with it.
