Description:

And Then There Were None is one of Christie’s most brilliant deceptions. In this classic drawing room murder mystery, ten strangers invited to a mysterious island are accused by their host of having committed murder. One by one, each character dies; those who remain struggle to find the killer. In an epilogue, the police discover the ten bodies and eventually solve the mystery. Character descriptions depict social histories and class stereotyping.
