Even though Lucinda has an entire shelf of Agatha Christie novels, somehow I had never read one before. So I figured the best place to start was with one of her most famous novels... And Then There Were None. The premise is pretty simple. Ten total strangers are invited to stay over at a mansion on an island and none of them are quite sure why they are there. Then one of the guests is murdered. And then another guest. And so on. Until ***SPOILER*** they all wind up dead. And yes the killer is one of the ten guests. It isn't until the very end when we're presented a posthumous letter by the killer that all the pieces fit into place and it all makes perfect sense.
I greatly enjoyed the story. It was fast paced and very intriguing (especially once it becomes clear one of the guests is the murderer). The plan is clever and makes the reveal quite rewarding. I'll give it an A.
