And Then There Were None
March 20, 2009 — falconmedia
This book is a murder mystery about ten people “invited” by “Mr. UN Owen” (later discovered to mean “Uknown”) to Indian Island. The ten people each have unique backgrounds and are accused of murders at the island. The murders seem to follow the nursery rhyme, Ten Little Indians. The murderer remains unknown until the end and I found the ten people’s lives, backgrounds and murders interesting. It’s a good read, and it isn’t scary or horrifying, it’ s interesting.
