And Then There Were None, by Agatha Christie - Owen 7H1

          Ten strangers are invited to Indian Island by a mysterious and absent host, U. N. Owen.  Everyone on the island has something to hide.  Shortly after their arrival it is revealed that each guest has caused the death of another person or persons in their past.  Each person wasn't punished for their crime.  One by one, the ten guests are killed.  The murders follow the pattern of a nursery rhyme that is hung on the walls of the rooms in the house on Indian Island.  After each death, a china Indian figurine is removed from a collection that originally was made up of ten.  Unable to leave the island or determine who the murderer is, the guests live in fear until none remain.


          I liked this book because it was suspenseful.  I never knew who was going to die next and I couldn't figure out who the murderer was. I also found the characters interesting.  The narrative was in omniscient so that you got to know what each character was thinking.  I liked how the murderer was revealed through a written confession at the end of the book.


          I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good murder mystery.
