Riassunto

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick

A beautiful, collectible facsimile edition of Agatha Christie’s most famous book and the bestselling mystery in the world.

"Ten . . ."
Ten strangers are lured to an isolated island mansion off the Devon coast by a mysterious "U. N. Owen."

"Nine . . ."
At dinner a recorded message accuses each of them in turn of having a guilty secret, and by the end of the night one of the guests is dead.

"Eight . . ."
Stranded by a violent storm, and haunted by a nursery rhyme counting down one by one . . . as one by one . . . they begin to die.

"Seven . . ."
Which among them is the killer and will any of them survive?

Featuring the original typesetting and format of the first edition from the Christie family’s archive, And Then There Were None Facsimile Edition is packaged with the first hardcover edition’s actual cover art, which has been painstakingly restored to its original beauty.

Su questo libro

Recensione

“The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.” (New York Times)

“One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.” (Time magazine)

“One of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies.” (The Observer (UK))

“There is no cheating; the reader is just bamboozled in a straightforward way from first to last....The most colossal achievement of a colossal career. The book must rank with Mrs. Christie’s previous best―on the top notch of detection.” (New Statesman (UK))

“The most astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether successful mystery story since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.” (Daily Herald (UK))

“What Agatha Christie taught me was all about the delicate placement of the red herring. She was the ultimate genius behind ‘by indirections shall we find directions out.’ ” (Elizabeth George, New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Lynley novels)
