This is my first Agatha Christie. Don't know whether or not it will be my last but I like the book alright. Not particularly intriguing, yet if you like detective story, especially those 柯南 and 金田一一 alike, you will find And Then There Were None an enjoyable read. To me the novel lives up to my expectation.
What surprises me the most definitely is its ending. I like the idea of NO ONE ESCAPE. There were none, in the end. That's a nice surprise.
Anyway, my revelation is: your bag of skeleton will eat you up one day or another. So don't put everything in your wardrobe. Deal with it before it's too late.

故事以一則童謠TEN LITTLE SOLIDER BOYS為藍本﹐地點發生在一座位於荒島的度假大屋。人物包括管家夫婦﹑外科醫生﹑退休法官﹑富家公子﹑退役軍人﹑富有老婦﹑私家偵探﹑年輕教師和投機青年﹐共十個人。他們各有一段不為人知的往事﹐兇手是要他們為以往的錯誤負責﹐並以童謠所述的情況﹐一個一個地死去﹐最後荒島只剩下十具屍骸。
這次估兇手的遊戲也很好玩﹐荒島上叫天不應叫地不聞﹐形成一個密室﹐而十個人當中﹐必有一個是兇手﹐他們互相猜度﹐步步為營﹐最後卻都被這個完美的殺人遊戲算中了。

a Cult. You read it. Few years ago you "have" to read it again, it is necessary in your mind. You will like it. You try to understand the plot, you try to understand who is who... but it is not so easy.

Agatha's masterpiece

No way you can find something original to add to this world famous masterpiece. Even the author considered it one of the best of her production.

No way you can find something original to add to this world famous masterpiece. Even the author considered it one of the best of her production. How can you imagine to set 10 misterous (and sometimes grotesque) murderers inside such a small scenary and let the reader look for their assassins among such a small group of persons, pretending the whole story to be believable? This is really amazing. It deserves all its fame!
