With thanks to the author, publishers HarperCollins UK, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A classic whodunnit from the pen of the legendary Agatha Christie. Apparently when this book was originally published, the last chapter was concealed in a letter that the reader would have to open to discover who the killer was, and I loved the idea of this new version bringing that concept into the digital age. Unfortunately for me, even though I scanned the QR code to have the final chapter sent to my email to complete the experience, that email never arrived. Not to worry, as I was able to get the final chapter in another version of the book that I already own, but still a bit of a let-down after all the build up!

Loved this new version. Absolute classic which has stood the test of time. It's gripping, perfectly plotted and expertly unravelled. If you haven't read Agatha Christie before this is a great place to start.

One of the most iconic and best-loved crime mysteries ever written, Agatha Christie's classic returns in a new format in which its ending is concealed with an envelope at the end of the book (or to be accessed online in the case of the ebook). One wonders whether this is to protect readers from themselves by preventing them from skipping ahead to the final pages, a gimmick, or a source of increased suspense. Little needs to be said about the story itself. Christie excels herself in this tense plot about ten people trapped on an island who are threatened with judgement for their past actions. Unsurpassed in its genre, 'And Then There Were None' is always worth reading (and indeed owning) in any format available.

I love this book and have read it under it's many varied titles over the years. It's a little dated, but that's to be expected by this author. It is however a great whodunnit read with lots of mystery and intrigue, giving you the opportunity to work out who the killer is. This new version brings it right into the interactive age with the last chapter with the big reveal being left out. Instead you can use the QR code to submit your ideas as to who the culprit is, and then you will be rewarded with the last chapter to see if you were right (in the physical book format, you get given the last chapter is a special pocket at the back of the book). However, I scanned the QR code, submitted my thoughts and never received the last chapter in return. Now, for me, it's not so bad - I've read it, I know what happens. But, if you've bought this book and are reading it for the first time, not receiving that last chapter is a big no-no, and I can imagine very disappointing. I sincerely hope this has been sorted now this book is on general release. I'm not sure I'm overly keen on the "holding back the last chapter" aspect, it does feel like I'm being held to ransom unless I fill out a form, but the book itself is pure class!

What can you say about Christie's classic novel? Crime fiction would not be the same without her, and this is one of her most ingenious books. Phenomenal. Many thanks to NetGalley for this special copy.

The ultimate crime thriller mystery for the armchair sleuth on Christie's classic tale. With the last chapter held back until you have read the whole book. Awesome.

A classic Christie book. What is there not to like. I would recommend this book to young and old. Excellent.

Ten people stuck on an island. Ten crimes. And one by one, they start paying for them.
This is a classic Christie novel, but done really well. The story is written in such a way that you feel the ending circling, giving you just enough time to appreciate what happens in the scene before you before it jumps into the next. This edition in particular, with the interactive bit at the end, adds a nice twist to an already great story.

I really enjoyed this classic Agatha Christie. This new and interesting way to read the book gave an interesting new perspective on an absolute classic.

10 strangers get invited to Soldier Island on the coast of Devon by a mysterious host, cut off from the mainland they start to get picked off one by one.

Was excited to read the original book that has inspired so many others and it didn’t disappoint!
I honestly had no idea who the culprit was until the big reveal at the end

I’ve read a few Agatha Christie books but had never read And Then There We’re None and I can now safely say this is my favourite read of hers so far.
I really loved this Ultimate Mystery edition which held back the final chapter and the reader had to put on their own detective hat and try solve the mystery, such a fun twist on a classic.

I can see why this is one of her most famous novels. It had me hooked. Each character was so distinctive and their back stories were so clever and well written. I liked the mystery element and found this unique. Unfortunately I never got emailed a link didn’t work so I could not access the final chapter. However I audiobooked the ending luckily. This is not a critique of the book and I am aware this is ARC issue only.

I have always wanted to read an Agatha Christie novel, but I'm not sure I should have started with this one.
Firstly, there are so many characters. In a way, it lends itself well to a classic whodunit, because the reader has so many clues, and people to pick from when they try to guess the murderer. However, for me, it felt like an avalanche of information to get to grips with right at the start, and I need some character background to link them to so they solidify in my mind. All that happened was I got confused.
Secondly, Christie's writing style was not for me. Whilst I appreciate she was of course writing one of the earliest detective novels so was influenced by her time, I couldn't get on with it. I couldn't tell who was saying which dialogue and the writing was short, with strange sentence structure.
I loved the idea of the ending though, that in print copies, there will be an envelope that reveals the culprit. Very quirky.

There were to many pov’s for me to keep and made it very confusing for me to understand what’s was going on.

Absolutely sensational read. Christie at the very top of her game! Absolutely in my top five murder mystery reads of all time!

I'm almost ashamed to admit, but this is the first Agatha Christie book that I've read and I can really see why Christie has been given the title of the queen of crime by other reviewers in the past on my feed. If all of her work is as gripping as this, then I can see myself fast collecting up the rest of her work.

Murder mystery really is a genre that I love to pick up, but every time I thought I'd got it there was another turn that flipped my thinking somewhere else. I felt like I'd really had this mystery solved and worked out to the point I flicked back to see why I'd missed this. There were some seriously tense moments in this book and this is where Christie really shines through keeping you gripped and needing to get through every page as quickly as you possibly can.

Not something I would normally read and a very different style of writing. However I did quite enjoy the snappy way of imparting bits of the mystery from all of the various character angles. I failed to guess the murderer. Interesting and exciting method of allowing readers to be bit invested in story by releasing the epilogue or solution to crime afterwards.
The formatting didn’t quite work on Kindle so was a little confusing but not the author’s fault of course.

And Then There We’re None is the first Agatha Christie book I’ve read but it won’t be the last! I found the mystery very exciting reading with a variety of fascinating characters as suspects.
I would love another opportunity to read a mystery novel this way.

This unbelievable book needs no introduction in the book community.

This Ultimate Mystery Edition - which is out now - withheld the final chapter and big reveal to test my detective skills. So brilliant is Agatha Christie’s plot - I had to wait to find out how everything came together.

It is very easy to see why this book is the biggest selling mystery novel of all time.

I received this novel in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley.

It's unquestionable just how impressive this novel is. Surely the inspiration for various horror tomes. Christie has a useful foreword where she explains that this novel was tricky to construct, not least because the story is amazingly taut.

10 people end up on an island, it's a British island and a storm's a-coming. Each person has received correspondence from a different person, More or less once they're all acquianted, suddenly a special record is played releasing all of the guests' secrets.

From there, the 10 little solidiers on the table decrease in quantity as one by one the guests come to sticky ends.

But who is the murderer? Who did it? Net Galley has rather intelligently offered a version with a QR code, forcing you not to cheat and work out who did it... before there was none.

A wonderful read and essential for Christie-ists. Her writing is still light and lovely. Shrewd and conversational.

Take this charming paragraph:

Tea! Bless ordinary everyday afternoon tea! Philip Lombard made a cheer remark. Blore responded. Dr Armstrong told a humorous story. Mr Justice Wargrave, who ordinarily hated tea, sipped approvingly.

Such writing can be a soothing balm as you prepare for murder afoot. And this one is infamous for many deaths...
