Suspense. Murder. Death. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie was the perfect murder mystery. Ten people are invited to an island for reason that turn out to be fake. A poem is found all over the island. But the poem is taken a little too seriously. To the point where whatever the poem says is how the murderer will kill you.
Agatha Christie made it very difficult to figure which person was the murderer. With Each kill seeming to be have a different killer. Some of the ways she gave clues were, setting, characterization, and making you think. Like when Anthony “Tony” Marston and Mrs. Rogers both seem to be killed by a different person (67, 84). Then General MacArthur, who seems to be killed by Wargrave, dies and the book never tells (132-133). Eventually, everyone is murdered until the final two remain and Vera shoots Lombard (240-241), but it doesn’t matter because she is overcome with grief and hangs herself (244-245). But that’s not even the end. Agatha made sure she didn’t leave out anything. In the epilogue it says that the real killer is Wargrave and …show more content…
Sometimes I didn’t pick up on clues and it hurt me in the long run. Like when Armstrong “disappeared” (219). Where I wasn’t able to keep up on the clues. In fact I was completely lost and just kept reading anyway. Next, when Vera is explaining her backstory I was didn’t get it the first time and had to reread several times before I understood that she killed Cyril to marry Hugo (207-209). Finally, I didn’t know when General MacArthur had died because it says that he was outside and then he’s lying in his bed (133). Those are some of the ways that And Then There Were None confused me. All in all, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie was sort of confusing and, hard to find out. But, had just the right amount of characters and some good vocabulary. That’s what made And Then There Were None a fantastic
