And Then There Were None

And Then There Were NoneAnd Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I underestimate how much an effect Christie has had on mystery writing. Falling into her stories is to see her fingerprints on so many other writers' novels and plays. I think I saw this performed ten years ago when my grad school school professor was a part of the cast - thankfully I didn't actually remember all the plot twists (I wasn't getting much sleep then). Sometimes I wish Christie wrote more sympathetic characters or let us follow a smaller set of characters, but who I am to question the great Ms. Christie? Totally worth a read and now I'm hoping for an updated movie version....

Happy reading--
