Dieci piccoli indiani. E non rimase nessuno

There is scarcely any comfort to be found in this book, only an ancient, arcane horror. Even my most harrowing nightmares would have never conjured such a soul-fearing tale. And Then There Were None was uncomfortable as it lodged itself in the darkest corner of my mind, and the questions it asks and Leggi tutto

Before I begin I would like to apologise for my use of the N word in this review. It is necessary, I promise. This book was originally published in UK under a charming title of "Ten Little Niggers". When it came to the US version in the 40's someone decided that 'Ten Little Niggers' is not the most m Leggi tutto

I'm a big lover of Agatha Christie, she has written some fantastic murder mysteries and her stories never get tiring. But this is the one that just comes out on top every time. It partly, and quite amusingly, reminds me of that old American murder mystery in Sunset Beach. Basically, they're the only Leggi tutto

This lovely mystery book is first and foremost about the administration of the long-overdue justice, right? At least that's what the mastermind behind it all believes. But the question is - who has the right to decide what justice is? And who is to decide what punishment serves the crime? And is perc Leggi tutto

يجب أن أعترف أن ضيق أفقي هو مامنعني من دخول عالم أجاثا كريستي فمنذ صغري لم تبهرني أغلفة قصصها المترجمة للعربية كما أن معرفة والدي لافلامها وقراءة والدتي لروايتها منذ الصغر جعلني أشعر أن الغموض بهذه القصص "موضة قديمة" وألغازها ستكون مكشوفة لي ناهيك عن مقولة "لابد أن الخادم هو من فعلها كقصص أجاثا كريستي" Leggi tutto

Full of suspense and I was hanging on every word. I loved that we almost knew what would happen next because of the sequence and yet, had no idea how it would come about. This is my first Agatha Christie and now I can't wait to read more!

5 stars to Agatha Christie 's And Then There Were None . This is the book that started my absolute love of the mystery genre. I was addicted and must have read it 3 or 4 times over the course of the year. Between the poem, the deserted island, the plot twist, the count-down, the pure clandestine suspe Leggi tutto

Reread: 2015 Because some Non-Crunchy Cool Classic Pantaloonless friends thought I read it wrong... Turns out, I did . This was a really good mystery! {insert long-winded apology with much groveling} Happy, guys? The story goes a bit like this: 10 strangers each get invitations from someone they think the Leggi tutto

One of the worlds best selling books of all time, Agatha Christie's "and Then There Were None" sets the standard for crime fiction. The book was first published under a different title in jolly old England, but even back in 1939 American publishers were far too politically correct to use a title the Leggi tutto

“Watch and pray. The day of judgement is at hand.” Now I understand why Agatha is the Queen of crime! This was addictive. A group of people are all individually invited to an island for a summer holiday in Devon. None of them 100% sure who their mysterious host is. Things become even more peculiar Leggi tutto
