The invites have been sent out and ten guests arrived on an island off the coast of Devon. They have been invited by an unknown millionaire. The host is nowhere to be found but what is found is a framed nursery rhyme in all the guests’ rooms. A nursery rhyme which hints at their fate...

This masterpiece by Agatha Christie has stood the test of time. She was a genius at writing mystery. With And Then There Were None she set the perfect stage: an isolated island, guests with things in their past they want to keep secret, and tension galore. This book has that trapped feeling that I love in books. In addition to tension, And Then There Were None also has secrets, dread, danger, and a great mystery.

As the guest meet their fate, readers get the chance to do their own detective work to figure out whodunit. That is if you have not already read the book, seen the play, or watched the movie! After all, Agatha Christie is considered to be one of the most read authors of all time.

This proved to be a fast and thrilling read which had me wanting to pick up another book by Agatha Christie right away!

must confess I have read very little by Agatha Christie. Yes, I know this is most unusual considering how much I love a good whodunnit or locked room mystery. I have no explanation for this; I just never got around to reading them.
Anyway, you can probably imagine my delight when I received this digital ARC of this special edition to read and review. Many thanks HarperCollins UK and Netgalley.

To say that I enjoyed this classic whodunnit would be an understatement. I was totally immersed in it, and with good reason. You see, the final chapter was missing. When I got to the end, I had to submit who I thought the killer was. Then, and only then, would I receive the final chapter. Brilliant, no?
I relished the idea of exercising my little grey cells. Alas, I am no Poirot, nor Miss Marple. I fear Inspector Clousseau would have made the correct deductions.
The fun was in the trying though, and if I had read this before, it wouldn't have been half as much fun.
I will definitely be adding more Agatha Christie titles to my reading list, but I'm not sure they will top this.
The special collector's edition will be available on 10/10/2024. Thanks again to HarperCollins UK and Netgalley for the digital ARC.

Definitely one of Agatha Christie’s best novels, And Then There Were None is still fresh and original and will appeal to old and new Christie aficionados alike.
Set on an island off the Devon coast (Burgh Island in reality), ten strangers are invited to stay only for them to start dying one by one. Who is doing this, is it accidental or is it murder? This story is so beautifully crafted that it seems impossible to discover the reasoning behind these fatalities.
This is such a beautiful new edition from Harper Collins with the solution to the puzzle concealed in an envelope at the back of the book. I am sure this will continue to intrigue it’s readers for many generations to come.

An absolute classic murder mystery that has inspired a myriad of locked room imitations. Ten strangers are invited to an island cut off from the mainland and one by one they start dying… the final death can’t be a suicide but who is the killer? Ingenious making you wait to request the final piece of the puzzle!

Danger and death on an island. Twelve disparate people are invited for a holiday on an island off the Devon coast, seemingly from people they have known. All seem to have a secret of problem in their past. Gradually they get to know each other but what’s with the toy soldiers and why have these people been brought together on the island? Creepy but enjoyable.

Definitely one of Agatha Christie’s novels- tense and leaving you thinking you know who the killer is. Unfortunately we never know! Was annoyed to not find out!

A classic - this is a beautiful special edition with the final solution at the end! This is a must read if you like Christie. Fantastic mystery as 10 strangers find themselves stuck in a mansion. A brilliant fast paced read that will keep you guessing.

Whilst I've always been aware of Agatha Christie it's only recently I've started reading through her books. I really enjoyed this read and felt it was a great length. She certainly had me fooled and I didn't realise who the murderer was until the last chapter.

And Then There Were None is set on a wild, remote island off the coast of Devon in which ten strangers are left stranded. Members of the group are being murdered in grizzly ways following a sinister nursery rhyme and the culprit can only be one of the people on the island. This is one of the original 'locked room' mysteries and is certainly the best in my opinion.

Agatha Christie has an incredible way of crafting developed characters, vivid settings and intricate plot twists within such a short book. I particularly love in this book that the nursery rhyme provides a sense of foreshadowing but the book never becomes predictable and I read it in one sitting. The locked room trope is one of my favourites and I love that you have no idea who to trust or who to believe. I've read many other books inspired by And Then There Were None however none of them match up to the original.

As one of Christie's standalones and the book voted her best, I would say this book would be a great introduction to her work and would recommend this to anyone. This is my favourite book of all time and one I have reread on many occassions.

I really enjoyed this book as I just love an Agatha Christie murder mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the end.

I would highly recommend reading this book if you love Agatha Christie.

I would like to thank HarperCollins and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

What a hugely fun edition of one of Agatha Christie's best novels. I can only imagine the delight at reading this story for the first time and having the time to think through who must have been the killer. It's a stand alone novel, no Poirot or Marple,but the story is so good, you really don't miss them!

People from all walks of life are invited to holiday on an island off the Devonshire coast. The same child's rhyme is framed in each room: a rhyme where one person is lost at the end of each verse, but always in a different way. And then the first person on the island dies, swiftly followed by a second: each, in line with the rhyme. What a terrifying place the island must now be......

I got a feeling that I knew who it was and if I stuck by it I would of got it but was on the fence by two characters I would recommend reading it and great full for e book of the mystery edition of this book and would recommend to anyone thinking about it and read it in one sitting

This was done so cleverly. I loved the incorporation of the soldier rhyme and how it tied in with the mystery and suspense.
Every twist and turn kept me on the edge of my seat, each chapter escalating the tension. I genuinely had no idea who was responsible for the murders until the big reveal.
As a short read this was super easy to read and showcases why Christie is one of the greatest mystery writers of all time. A really wonderful read for October.

Plot
Set on a remote island, ten strangers are invited under mysterious circumstances. Soon, they find themselves accused of past crimes and begin to die one by one, in accordance with a nursery rhyme.

Thankyou to Harper Collins for an e-copy of the Ultimate Mystery Edition

Wow! I just loved that the mystery was wrapped up. I find myself frustrated, sometimes, when left with multiple questions.
The ending of having to, in my case, download the final chapter to find out exactly who the murderer was an excellent added feature. I'm disappointed to say that I was wrong!

I was lucky enough to receive an electronic advanced copy of the new edition of this book and really enjoyed the originality of having the ending of the book kept a secret until you had chosen who you thought the killer was.

The story is about 10 strangers who all get invited to the renowned Soldier Island following receipt of mysterious invitations. One by one deaths start occurring on the island and they all seem to match the telling of a nursery rhyme.

I enjoyed the book and it kept me guessing throughout as I didn’t work out who the killer was.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins for the advance copy

How can you review Agatha Christie after all this time? Nothing new can be said beyond her books - including this one - being bestsellers for a reason. Love the new concept for this in hardback with the envelope at the back. Looking forward to seeing what this looks like.

This is one of my favourite books of all time. Such a clever concept and proves just how dark and sinister Christie can be. It was a joy to reread

This new edition looks beautiful and the concept of the letter at the end is a great gimmick. It's gimmicky but fun and a clever tie in with the story events.

This is a great gift idea for the criminally minded in your circle of friends or family!

Agatha Christie one of the greatest mystery writer . I loved the book . I was happy to have guessed right the murder.
It was complicated murder mystery set on Soldier Island. Ten guests are invited all of them have something they are trying to escape and they all take the opportunity they are provided with . One after another all are murdered.
There is a mystery of who murdered all of them and did they set everything back in certain order and left the island ? Did they escape ? But how did they do that ? There is a last concealed chapter that leads to the answer.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for the opportunity to read the book . Would love to read more such books and dive into Agatha Christie’s world .

A well plotted crime, fully rounded characters with succinct back stories and their crimes. Thoroughly absorbing. Got to the end and then found myself looking back again at some of the characters trying to find the clues to let me know who was responsible. Very cleverly done.
Many thanks to Netgalley/Agatha Christie/HarperCollins UK for a digital copy of this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thoroughly enjoyed this read and loved getting the final chapter later. I had no idea who it was - kept jumping between them all and then realised it couldn't be them. Never realised how clever someone could be. Great twist...
