Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Considered the best mystery novel ever written by many readers, And Then There Were None is the story of 10 strangers, each lured to Indian Island by a mysterious host. Once his guests have arrived, the host accuses each person of murder. Unable to leave the island, the guests begin to share their darkest secrets--until they begin to die.

From AudioFile
Ten strangers are invited to an island by the mysterious U.N. Owen. All are accused of murder and slowly, inexorably, the nursery rhyme comes to fruition, and they begin to die, until there are none. Here's Agatha Christie at her best with her classic drawing room murder mystery, with extra tension to boot. David Horovitch acts out all the parts, quietly communicating the hints and nuances of Christie's well-known tale. As each character claims innocence, Horovitch adds a touch of cynicism to voice and story. Yet the mysterious murderer remains unknown until the very last syllable is uttered.

Rainbo Electronic Reviews
"Norman Barrs...enhances this classic mystery with his smooth narration. His different voices for this busy cast are done so well that one could almost believe that there is more than one reader."

The Best of the Best5
Arguably Christie's masterpiece, and certainly her darkest tale, And Then There Were None takes you to Indian Island where 10 strangers have been lured to face the unspeakable crime each has committed and gotten away with....until now. As each of the 10 die one by one, the other realize the net is closing in and there's no way to discover their unknown avenger or escape his or her unerring execution of justice. Brilliantly written, you can feel the atmosphere of suspicion and dread growing with each death and a twist ending that only the most astute will see coming.

One of Agatha Christie's Finest Mystery Novels5
I have been a life long fan of Agatha Christie's writing and her storytelling abilities. I first read "And The There Were None" several years ago now.... I thought "And The There Were None" was a great mystery novel then as I do now. In fact, I feel "And The There Were None" is one of Dame Christie's best novels ever written for the following reasons:

* Great Storytelling By Dame Agatha Christie.
* Quick Read That Is Difficult To Put Down.
* Interesting Plot, Which Takes 10 Strangers & Lures Them All To An Island Where Killer Kills All Ten Strangers Off One By One.
* All Ten Victims Are Stranded On The Island With No Means Of Leaving The Island Or Communicating With The Outside World, Which Intensifies The Storyline.
* Lots of Red Herrings & Misdirection Keeps The Reader Guessing As To Who The Killer Really Is & How The Murders Are Being Executed.
* Great Ending.

What is there left to say?5
This may be the greatest mystery ever written. Among Christie's books I prefer the elegant solution of Murder on the Orient Express, but the atmosphere and suspense of this book are greater - people being picked off one by one on a remote island was a great conceit and as you read you will yourself to read faster.

A great place for a novice mystery reader to start.
