Now I see the inspiration for Final Destination, Judge, Doubt, and many other things. Interesting to see the pervasive colonialism wafting off of the page.

The "locked island" classic. One of Christie's best, maybe because it's harder to completely unravel than many of her mysteries.

text Kind of OTT, but gripping.

This didn't really have much humor - but a lot of corpses... 10 to be exact. A very gripping thriller. Not really a crime story in the normal Agatha Christie sense - it really is a thriller with ten people on a remote island with no means of escape. And they are being murdered. One after the oth...

text And Then There Were None (1939) by Agatha Christie

Disparate group of ten people are lured to an isolated island and killed off one by one by their mysterious host who, they realize, is one of them. One of the best-selling books of all time, its genius lies in combining the premise with murders that follow the lyrics of a well-known children's rhyme...

text Turns out the butler didn't do it

Okay, I am probably not that good at working out who the killer is in a mystery novel (not that I have read all that many, and this is the first ever Agatha Christie novel that I have read) but I was convinced that the bulter was the culprit right up until he landed up with an axe in his head.
