I have been looking for a good old mystery novel to read in these lockdown days and then when I surfed a bit, many sites recommended this classic written by the Queen of Mystery novels Agatha Christie.I generally reads non fiction and I wanted a change so bought this book And Then There Were None.
One book to be read in a lifetime.it best suits for those who watches thriller and mystery movies.
I recommend to those who say that books cannot be as thrilling as movies.The plot goes like this, Ten strangers are invited to a little island by an unknown person.Upon their arrival at the island they understand that the host was not there.At dinner they receive a message which finds all of them guilty in some way and by next day one of them is dead.The murderer can be anyone,their fears escalated when they saw an old rhyme which indicates the death of everyone.Will anyone survive???
Positives
- Well structured :The story is well plotted and organised which leaves no doubt in the readers mind about the events,but gives no clue about the culprit.Now I understand why Agatha Christie is called the queen of mysteries.I dare you to find out the person before the novel tells.
- Short: The book is about 250 pages and can be read in quick time. Its not that descriptive like the classic crime novels but the pacing is good which builds the thriller nature.Basically i like non fiction but this was an impromptu reading for me but was worth the time.
- Writing: Its an old book so there are lot of unknown words which might be difficult without a dictionary , but I met lots of good words which can be useful.It may be queer at first but will get used to it.
My Rating : 4/5
