A little history of “And Then There were None” book:

This book was first published by the name “Ten Little Niggers”/ “Ten Little Indians”. The title was then changed to And Then There Were None because of the racist nature of the first title. It also has the distinction of being the “best selling mystery ever”.

So, definitely the best work of Christie and supposedly her favourite too, I adored this book. It has everything namely suspense, mystery, tragedy, drama, psychological reasoning, emotionally packed scenes and also some bone chilling and nail biting moments.

This is one of the most famous spooky mysteries by the “Queen of Crime”. Also adapted into movies, plays, TV series, and translated in multiple languages, this one is an atmospheric mystery guaranteed to give you the chills.

Things I Liked:

Agatha Christie spins a tale that is unusual and definitely never heard of before. Then the treatment of the story and its ending is entirely new. Also, every tool is used to heighten the tension, terror and suspense in the story.

Each character plays his/her part to perfection whether it be Rogers with “fright in his eyes, dry lips, twitching face” or Vera Claythorne, who was “frightened of the dark”!

Then the description of the house on Indian Island is exquisite and very admirably done using comparison as the tool to heighten the drama.

If this had been an old house, with creaking wood, and dark shadows, and heavily panelled walls, there might have been an eerie feeling. But this house was the essence of modernity. There were no dark corners-no possible sliding panels- it was flooded with electric light, everything was new and bright and shining. There was nothing hidden in this house, nothing concealed. It had no atmosphere about it. Somehow, that was the most frightening thing of all.”

The nursery rhyme, “Ten Little Indians” is also expertly and very beautifully used in the book as a blueprint to the murders that happen. So, it’s an ingenious plot that leaves the reader spell bound and speechless with no clue to what might happen next.

I don’t know. I don’t know at all. And that’s what’s frightening the life out of me. To have no idea….”

Conclusion:

All in all, this is a brilliantly designed and executed book with a plot that leaves its effect long after we have finished reading it. Its a once in a lifetime book. I have no words to explain everything that I am feeling after reading it but hope that my rating says it all.
