And Then There Were None

Book • 1939
In this classic murder mystery, ten strangers are lured to Indian Island, off the coast of Devon, by an unknown host.

Each guest has a dark secret and is accused of a past crime by a recorded voice.

As the guests are murdered one by one, following the pattern of the nursery rhyme 'Ten Little Indians,' the remaining survivors must uncover the killer's identity before they become the next victims.

The novel is known for its intricate plot, surprising twists, and its exploration of themes such as justice, guilt, and class distinctions.
