Publisher Description
Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, and the best-selling murder mystery book of all time.
Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by a mysterious host.
They sit down for dinner and a record begins to play. The voice of their host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. By the end of the night one of them will be dead.
Stranded by a violent storm, they begin to die – one by one.
Each of them is guilty. But who is the killer?
Reviews
‘One of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies.’
Observer
‘The most astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether successful mystery story since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.’
Daily Herald
‘One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.’
Time Magazine
‘There is no doubt that this is a highly ingenious jigsaw by a master of puzzling.’
Books
‘There is no cheating; the reader is just bamboozled in a straightforward way from first to last… The most colossal achievement of a colossal career. The book must rank with Mrs Christie’s previous best – on the top notch of detection.’
New Statesman
‘The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.’
New York Times

Customer Reviews
Excellent Read
Such as excellent book. Epilogue really explains all at end. Mystery continues till the end of the chapter. Do continue reading as first few chapters are were characters are developed, after its all Mystery.
Wow.
This is the scariest book ever. I have hardly read books of the Crime Fiction genre, but this one is scary. A psychological masterpiece, I can see why she's done so well, you can guess the murderer. This woman knows how to write Crime Fiction, I'll say that much, and you can bet on it.
Love it!
The most amazing book I've ever read. WARNING: the first chapter or two are boring, but DON'T give up on the book!
