She is one of the most searched and read authors of all time with over a billion books sold in different languages even after her death.
And Then There Were None is a mystery novel written by late great Agatha Christie, which she has described as the most difficult of her works to write. Ten Little Niggers, after the children's counting rhyme and minstrel song that serves as a major plot element, was first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on November 6, 1939. In January 1940, a US edition was released under the title and Then There Were None, which is derived from the song's final five words. Except for the Pocket Books paperbacks published between 1964 and 1986, which were titled Ten Little Indians, all subsequent American reprints and adaptations use that title.
The book is the world's best-selling mystery and one of the best-selling books of all time, with over 100 million copies sold. The novel has been ranked as the sixth best-selling title in any language, including reference works.
If you never read her books before then you better start with this book because this book is going to show you what a genius she was in writing and in making plots.
For me, this story was one of her best works and shows her brilliance one very page. It is a masterpiece that is in words instead of a canvas, the ending is going to blow you away and that is the max I can tell you about this topic.
It has amazing character development, a top-notch plot, and a blow you out of your seat ending, in addition to the mystery. The novel's originality is nothing short of breathtaking! In terms of psychology, character development, and literary style, no other "mystery" novel comes close, in my opinion. Simply one of the best mysteries ever written by one of the greatest authors of all time. Only one book is better in terms of mystery, and that is "ABC Murders," but this one is still superior in terms of all other aspects of the plot and style.
As you can expect with this kind of book, you are going to be twisted and turned many times and this will make you turn page after page till you are at the end of the final page.
Warning: If you buy the “harpers kindle version.” BEWARE - They included a major plot spoiler by adding a page from Christie’s autobiography in the start of the book, so please be advised and don’t read it before you are done with the main book.
