And Then There Were None

Ten strangers, each invited by a different pretext, arrive on a small island off the Devon coast. Their unseen host is absent, and the house offers comfort, a nursery rhyme framed on the wall, and a sense of unease. As a storm cuts them off from the mainland, the guests discover that each is accused of an old wrong the law never punished. Fear and suspicion grow quickly. It is Christie's best-selling novel, a tense and chilling study of guilt and justice, and one of the most celebrated mysteries ever written.
