And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie

And Then There Was None is a story written by Agatha Christie and is a mysterious book about ten people who are all guests on a private island off the coast of Devon, which is in India. This island isn't like an ordinary one; it is very mysterious and quiet and seems very spooky. Their host, an unknown millionaire to them all, is nowhere to be found. All they hear is his voice who reveals each and every one of the guests' secrets. All the guests have a weird past that they're willing to reveal. Each of them has been marked for murder, and each one of them has been revealed. Slowly each one suffers and dies before the weekend is over. It turns out to be this isn't an ordinary island; it's an island that is looking for "revenge." This book is a very exciting book to read full of mysterious moments. I really enjoyed reading this book, and each chapter was better than the other. It keeps you very busy and excited about each upcoming chapter. I would recommend this book to any reader, especially to those who like mystery books. I personally enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Eight people are called into a home on a desolate island, for different reasons, thinking that a man named Mr. Owen has invited them. When the anonymous Mr. Owen does not show up, the only ones in charge of serving and taking care of the guests are the butlers that Mr. Owen has sent, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. But day by day, each person starts to die, and know one knows whether its a murder, suicide, or none. After the third death, the people on the island start to see a resemblance between the deaths and a poem hung on their room walls. Eventually they figure out that these deaths are actually murders, and since they are the only ones on the island, one of them is the killer. Throughout this novel, the guests/hosts try to figure out who the killer is and how they can protect themselves from "it".

This book would seem most fascinating to readers who like mystery and thrillers, like me. I really liked this book and would recommend you to read some of the authors other books, if you really liked this one. It is very spontaneous and unpredictable, yet very interesting and suspenseful. I loved how there was a major twist at the end and it was a kind of twist that I never saw coming. This book made me feel very cautious of myself and know that things/people don't always look the way they seem.

This amazing mystery novel is written by Agatha Christie. It starts with our main characters, Judge Lawrence Wargrave, Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, Dr. Armstrong, William Henry Blore, Emily Brent, Thomas Rogers, General Macarthur, Ethel Rogers, Anthony Marston, and Isaac Morris, are invited to the house of U.N. Owen. . Ms. Claythorne was invited to be the secretary to Mrs. Owen, and both Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were working as the butler, maid, and cook for a man they had never met, Mr. Lombard was hire to look out for trouble, Dr. Armstrong was hired to take care of Mrs. Owen, and the rest think they have come to see an old friend. Every time someone is killed an Indian figure is broken (there were 10 to begin with) and the murders are carried through just as the rhymes hung on all the guest's bedroom walls. It is an exciting novel, you will never get bored nor will you ever want to put the book down.

It is an unpredictable novel that I would gladly love to read over and over again. The ending is written so beautifully and it was a complete shocker. The entire novel is written with amazing details and as you read you feel like you were there too. To anyone and everyone who has the time please read this book, you will not be disappointed. Whether you hate mysteries or love romance and fiction, you will love this book. I really don't like mystery novels and if you're reading this you think I'm a hypocrite since the previous novel I reviewed was also a mystery, but the reading was required. That doesn't mean I was forced to love this book, no I was told to read it and just fell in love with it. I really to urge everyone to read this book.

And Then There Were None is the worlds bestselling mystery! In the novel, ten individuals are invited to an island by someone named U.N.O. When they end up at the island they realize they are all here for the same reason,but unfotunately cant find the person named U.N.O. The first day one of the individuals named Vera finds a nursery ryhme hanging on her wall which is called the " Ten Little Indians" which tells how ten individuals die. This nursery rhyme scares her and she wants to drown herself because she is frightened. They all sit ate the dinner table that night and a recording is played of who each individual has killed and how consequences are going to face them. The ten individuals face each other in fright and continue there days in mystery and unpatientley anxious.

I don't really read mystery books because I'm not interested in them,but I felt like this book is one of the best mystery books I've read. Although during the middle of the book you may feel like it is getting less and less interesting it actually starts to get more and more interesting . The best part of this book is in some parts while you read you don't even see whats going to happen next. I would really recommended this to everyone even if you feel like your not interested mysteries or if you think you want to start reading mystery books this book would be a good one to start with.
