      Klassieke verhaal van 10 verschillende mensen die naar Indian Island, voor de kust van Devon, worden geroepen en een voor een worden vermoord; onderhoudend en spannend, maar niet goed uitgewerkt.

      Christie's best work (my top 5 would be rounded out by "Five Little Pigs", "Crooked House", "Murder on the Orient Express" and "A Murder is Announced"). She devoted herself to constructing this elaborate mystery which fills the page with complex characters and then proceeds to psychologically damaging them, while also inspiring us, chapter after chapter, to say "No way!" The climactic scenes on a lonely beach are simply chilling.

      If you've somehow managed to avoid spoilers for this book, despite the numerous film and stage adaptations (many of which infamously change the ending, while only the Russians attempt to make it MORE bleak!), read this now before someone spoils it for you.

      Ten people from different walks of life are lured to an island under false pretenses, cut off from the outside world, and then told startling secrets about each other. When one of their number dies in a possible accident, suspicion is rife. It sounds cliched, and nowadays it is (alright, it wasn't hugely surprising back then either). But as the story goes on, Christie continues to challenge us - and herself - in an attempt to write the perfect murder mystery.

      Don't get me wrong - Christie is a storyteller, not a literary giant. I'm not saying this is Thomas Hardy here, but it's a seminal work of detective fiction (well... "detective" fiction, in this case) for anyone who is even remotely interested in the genre.

      It was an okay story. The storyline was interesting. I thought it was slow and not very engaging. Not one of my favorites but still worth reading though.

      Felt like I was listening to a Clue game. Too short for any character development. Just a straight up whodunnit.
    • 5/5
      One of the best books I read. As all of Agatha's book, this is another amazing book that impressed me.
    • 5/5
      This was the first mystery book I ever read. I got it from the library. From then I was addicted and read all Agatha Christy’s books. I have been an avid reader ever since. Many years now.
    • 5/5
      Ten Little Niggers is one my favorite Agatha Christie books. I also watched the 1945 black & white movie adaptation of the book. It is interesting to notice that the movie was producted in the US by director René Clair, and was released as And Then There Were None. In England, according to the Internet Movie Database, it was released that same year as both And Then There Were None and Ten Little Niggers. I remember reading it in Portuguese many years ago as "O Caso dos Dez Negrinhos." Who would have thought such racists (as Americans are, right?) would change the title of this movie...

      In awe. Truly a masterpiece. Easily tops my list of best crime and mystery novels.
    • 5/5
      The narrarator was great. The story was thrilling. What a twist. I'm not typically big on murder mysteries but this was gentle enough but also scandalous enough to be perfect.

      Brilliant and terrifying story. Very entertaining. So creepy the way the child’s poem is interwoven into the strange setting.

      Aaah, Agatha!! Wow!! she was the master of mystery .... Add the superb voice acting and tight unscored drama that makes this audiobook delightful. Haven't read an AC mystery since I was a very young girl but.. wow. Just wow.

      Christie at her most cinematic. There are several good film versions of this book. Don't even try guessing who did it.
    • 4/5
      This was great. I didn't have the slightest clue who did it until the end and the athmosphere was extremely well done and very creepy (I recommend not reading or listening to this when it's dark). This was my first Agatha Christie novel, but I will certainly read more.
    • 5/5
      What an incredibly fun and interesting book. It's nice to finally read something that lives up to its reputation! The characters were all interesting, the events left me on the edge of my seat, and the ending was incredible! This is one I'll definitely be re-reading at some point.
    • 4/5
      Anyone who enjoys mysteries will love this classic whodunit! Once the introductions are complete, the plot moves quickly and keeps the reader guessing. Until halfway through the Epilogue, I was unable to guess what had actually happened. (I want to go back and read the book again now that I know the ending!) Unfortunately there is a good deal of sexism and racism in the novel, but since it was originally published in 1939 this is not quite as shocking as it would be otherwise. I don't have any great read-alike ideas, but I want to find some because I definitely enjoyed the story!
    • 5/5
      This is one of my favorite books of all time. I am not normally all that into mystery novels, but this one completely blew me away. I love it!Written so realistically and convincingly that it is eerie, this book is everything a truly great mystery should be. It remains, in my opinion, the best ever written of its genre.The twist at the end is what makes this good book amazing.Powerful, exciting, dark, and impossible to put down.Agatha Christie is an amazing author!
    • 5/5
      Wow! Just when I thought Agatha Christie couldn't get any better, I read this! I'm truly in awe with the mystery master :) It's a good thing I read the epilogue and the end note; I admit I don't always do with books, but now I definitely will. Great read!

      Excellent!
