Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Considered the best mystery novel ever written by many readers, And Then There Were None is the story of 10 strangers, each lured to Indian Island by a mysterious host. Once his guests have arrived, the host accuses each person of murder. Unable to leave the island, the guests begin to share their darkest secrets--until they begin to die. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From AudioFile

Ten people come to an island. None of them will leave alive. One of the most beloved and respected stories in all of crime fiction is elegantly read by Norman Barrs, whose sophisticated British tones are perfect for the famous writer. Although Christie is known for her plots more than her characterizations, Barrs manages to bring all ten characters to their short lives with subtle changes of tone and pitch. He also lends just the right emotional notes of outrage and fear to the many narrative passages. This reading is especially recommended for those who know only the watered-down Hollywood version of the tale. S.F.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Doom, July 5 2004
This review is from: And Then There Were None (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel should have come with a warning.

DO NOT READ IF YOU'RE SEVERELY PARANOID

Because the machinations at the heart of this novel is that there are no secrets, even between strangers. And who knows, maybe one day, someone very evil and demented will happen upon the very thread that linked them all and pull at it. With devastating consequences.

Strangers stranded on an island is nothing new in the literature world, but strangers on a comfy island and getting nicked one by one is new, not to mention when after a while, no one else is left!

Toying with this plot, which Agatha Christie claimed to be the most taxing plot of them all, the story unfolds with a very energetic, very handsome man speeding down a road in a new shiny car with the women swooning after him. A few chapters later we see him choking on his drink while dining, and seconds later died. The first line of the nursery rhyme has been realised, and there are nine more to follow...

Christie's toying with the rhyme is very delightful, albeit cruel and frightening. There was a moment where the characters were discussing about the rhyme and wondering where in the world would their demented tormentor find a red herring or a bear, as suggested in these lines:

Four Little Indian boys going out to sea
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three Little Indian boys walking to the zoo
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Without giving anything away, suffice to say that Agatha Christie got her bear and red herring just the way she wanted them. And the ending is simply haunting and depressive. Not your usual Christie, but her best ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Agatha Christie novels, Jan 9 2010
This review is from: And Then There Were None (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is an addictive page-turner. I really felt under stress while reading it, its constant suspense being so unnerving. They will all disappear one by one, as announced in the title, but how? why? There is no escape, you are stuck on this terror island with this bunch of dismayed strangers, panicking with them, suspicious of everyone, hoping you can trust one or the other, praying this is all a nightmare or a bad, wicked, incomprehensible joke...
Brilliant.

By A Customer
This review is from: And Then There Were None (Mass Market Paperback)
One day, I was browsing online on Amazon, I saw this book. I heard that this book was great so I bought it. It turned out to be amazing, suspenseful, exciting, and awesome at the same time. Now I know why Agatha Christie is the "Queen of Crime." Her books all have a surprising ending!!!! I recommend this book to anybody who likes murder mysteries!! Got to read it!!! So good! I could spend a whole day reading this book!!! It's that good! I would rate this book more than five stars if I could! This book is worth your money!! Don't ever regret buying this book!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars too obvious
the resolution of "and then there were none" is pretty simplistic. I figured most of it out except for who the killer was. So how do all ten end up dead? Read more
