And Then There Were None

Everyone is a suspect, and there's no way out of the island till the mystery is solved. This is one of my favorite tropes.
This remains the best mystery novel I've read as I write this. I love how each character has value and contributes to the story, regardless of how long they stay within the plot. I also would've never predicted that twist, it's so incredible and it makes me want to read the book again as the clues are really visible on second glance.
Fun Fact: As a brand new reader, back in 2022, I resented how difficult it was to understand the vocabulary of this book, naïve to the fact that it was written in the 1930s.

Quotes Aaron Liked
“Ten little Indian boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Indian boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Indian boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Indian boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Indian boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Indian boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Indian boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Indian boys walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Indian boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Indian boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none.”

Thank you, @shehrbano 🤍 I highly recommend this, and I hope you enjoy it! I also want to clarify that the vocabulary isn't that difficult looking back, it was just rough to me back then as I've never read a classic before (and English isn't my first language).
agatha christie had her ups and downs but when she aimed to deliver she really did!!

I'm excited to read her popular works such as Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, once I get into those.
