A review by knkoch
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

adventurous mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I enjoyed the island setting, psychological character-building, and emphasis on dialogue and interpersonal dynamics. There was a note from Christie included in the beginning detailing her personal pride in the complicated plotting of this mystery, and I agree with her: I didn’t guess the solution! This was a quick, engrossing read.
