5.0

I'm ashamed to admit that though I call myself a bookworm, I've reached the age of 32 and never read an Agatha Christie novel.

And my first foray into her writing did not leave me disappointed!

And then there were none is a classic "whodunnit". Ten people have for various reasons been summoned to Soldier Island on the premise of a job for a Mr Owens. But upon arrival, Mr Owens is nowhere to be seen.

Before we know it, one of the guests mysteriously passes. And so begins a murder spree. The question is only who will be next, and will anyone survive?

This was a great "old fashioned" murder mystery. It kept me guessing throughout and kept sending me off in other directions. Better than anything, it's all tied up with a nice bow at the end. We find out who did it. We find out the motive. It all makes sense and nothing is too far fetched (which we all know is my absolute pet hate!)
