How would you feel if you were trapped on an island with ten people you didn't know and each of the guests is mysteriously murdered each day? How would you feel if all the murders were done in accordance with a nursery rhyme hanging over a fire place? What would it be like if your unknown host and hostess never showed up the entire time?

Ten guests are asked to show up on an island called Indian Island by letters. When the guest all arrive on the island the host doesn't appear but a butler is there to tell them that the host is going to be late. The first night they have a nice and friendly dinner to get aquatinted with each other and learns about each other a little. Then after dinner you sit down and have a few drinks when a voice comes out of nowhere and begins accusing all of the ten guests including the butler and his wife of murder. One of the accusations is, "Edward George Armstrong, that you did upon the 14th day of March, 1925, cause the death of Louisa Mary Cless."(Page 35) Then a few hours later after they had settled from the terrible experience one of the guests is murdered.

My favorite part of the book is when there are only three guest left and yet they are unable to figure out who is the killer. And Then There was None is very exciting book. This book was a page turner; I always wanted to know what happened on the next page. If you like mysteries this is the book for you. This book has several mysteries for you to solve. Everybody on the island is killed and nobody knows who did them. Agatha Christie describes everything with great detail throughout the book. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest I give this book a nine.
