Christie creatively developed these elements in And Then There Were None to teach her readers this lesson. Christie’s creativity and success as a murder mystery writer is why she is still considered the “Queen of Mystery”. Agatha Christie was born September 15, 1890 as Agatha Mary Clarissa…

The Salem Witch Trial In 1629, Salem was settled as a Massachusetts Bay Colony (Dunn 4).

In Salem, in the years between 1692 and 1693, over 150 people were accused of witchcraft, and 20 people were executed because of this accusation (“First Salem Witch Hanging”).
