And Then There Were None audiobook

I'm a big lover of Agatha Christie, she has written some fantastic murder mysteries and her stories never get tiring. But this is the one that just comes out on top every time.It partly, and quite amusingly, reminds me of that old American murder mystery in Sunset Beach. Basically, they're the only ones on this island and someone is killing them off one by one in accordance with the Ten Little Indians rhyme . And I swear I never saw it coming, and I'm usually very good at it. It's just a very clever novel, full of mystery and suspense and easily quite frightening at times.I like how Agatha Christie doesn't have to write a 500 page novel with a massive back story, her mysteries are very simply put together but always clever and hard to decipher. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the different results is the definition of insanity according to Einstein. But let me tell you something: I’m rereading this book for tenth time and each time I read, I love it more and catch another detail and change my thoughts about some of the characters. It’s getting better like aged wine! So if it makes you insane to enjoy this book over and over again, I happily accept this definition as another personality trait!🥂🥂🎉

5 stars to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. This is the book that started my absolute love of the mystery genre. I was addicted and must have read it 3 or 4 times over the course of the year. Between the poem, the deserted island, the plot twist, the count-down, the pure clandestine suspense... it couldn't get any better. Story Ten people receive a mystery letter from someone they don't know that indicates they should come to a remote island. Why would they go????? After arriving, they try to figure out the connection between all of them while waiting for their mysterious host. After coming across a cute little poem about how ten little indians die, they decide they will wait it out until the next morning when the ferry comes back to take them home. But it will never come! Each guest suddenly dies matching the line from the poem... resulting in alliances and mistrust. Pure fun.In a masterful conclusion, the reader understands all the connections, learns why the killer chose them to die and develops a very distinct opinion on who was right and who was wrong in this story.Amazing! Strengths 1. Plot - can you get any better than telling the reader that 10 people will die and then guessing the order and the weapon?2. Characters - All walks of life, all personalities. You'll love some and hate some! Weaknesses 1. Only that there wasn't a follow-up... Final Thoughts If you are a mystery fan, you must read this. If you've never read Agatha Christie, this must be your first - before you tackle Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. You must understand the master before getting hooked on any specific protagonist in one of her other series.

Reread: 2015Because some Non-Crunchy Cool Classic Pantaloonless friends thought I read it wrong...Turns out, I did. This was a really good mystery!{insert long-winded apology with much groveling}Happy, guys? The story goes a bit like this:10 strangers each get invitations from someone they think they know to stay on an island resort. Hells yeah! Sunshine & sea air!Well, resort is a bit of a misnomer. It's really a big house on an island. Still, it's famous for being a party place, and nobody in the group turns it down.BIG MISTAKE.Almost as soon as everyone is gathered together, a recorded voice booms out through the walls and accuses each of them of being a murderer. And not just...YOU'RE ALL MURDERERS! Nope, whoever it is appears to know specific details about each death, and why these particular people were responsible. Of course, everyone immediately starts proclaiming their innocence!Wha..? Noooo! That person died accidentally! I was never even a suspect! Who dares...?! Harrumph & bluster!However, within minutes one of them falls over dead.Suicide? Or something more nefarious?! As the body count rises, they have to face the facts that these aren't accidents. And with each new death coinciding with a children's rhyme that's tacked up in each room, all signs point to a self-appointed executioner in their midst.After they get organized and take a peek around, they realize that they are quite alone on this island. Their mysterious benefactor must be disguised as one of the guests, and is more than likely...the murderer.Dum, dum, duuuuum! The tension ratchets up with each body, and the guests start turning on each other in an attempt to ferret out the killer. Eventually, they decide they just need to calm down and survive till the police can get to the island. Good plan, right? But what if there isn't anyone left to tell the cops what happened? So whodunit? I ain't tellin'.Psst. The epilogue is really important.

Is there anyone on Earth who really needs my review of this book?I mean...it's probably the most well-known mystery of all time that wasn't at some point adapted into a BBC miniseries starring a Slenderman-like monstrous human who haunts my nightmares.Either you've already read this or you're never going to. If you somehow exist in the in-between, here you go: This is a good and satisfying story and it's fun. That's all there is to it.Bottom line: How unnecessary of me to tell you the world's greatest mystery writer's most popular book is worth reading. I'm annoying even myself.-------------pre-reviewokay. the hype is warranted.review to come / 3.5 or 4 stars-------------currently-reading updatesfor a long time i thought i'd already read this book, and then i remembered that i had simply borne witness to a play version of it that was being performed in the acting elective i took in my freshman year of high school.so not quite the same.

This one's a classic; nearly everyone—reader or watcher—will have seen a piece of media inspired by it (in fact, we only recently rewatched Clue here in Stiefvaterland). Supposedly it is the world's best-selling mystery. I expected it to be dated (originally published in 1939 with an eye-buggingly problematic title), and the details were, of course, but the structure was as elegant and modern as anything you might hope to find today. It's a sparse, wicked thought exercise. With ten main characters, it's also a masterclass in juggling reader attention; Christie takes very little time in making sure we can easily tell them all apart. Christie wrote: "I don't say it is the play or book of mine that I like best, or even that I think it is my best, but I do think in some ways that it is a better piece of craftsmanship than anything else I have written." I don't know about that, but I do know it's effortlessly deserving of its classic status.

“Watch and pray. The day of judgement is at hand.” Now I understand why Agatha is the Queen of crime! This was addictive. A group of people are all individually invited to an island for a summer holiday in Devon. None of them 100% sure who their mysterious host is. Things become even more peculiar when their host isn’t there when they arrive, and doesn’t show themselves at all. One by one the guests are killed, picked off, leaving the others terrified and paranoid. It was a fantastic mystery throughout. As tension becomes hysteria, the guests wonder who will be next, who is responsible for these murders and why?A fantastic read that leaves you guessing until the very end. “We shall none of us leave this island.” ******************************So creepy!

And Then There were none‬ = Ten Little Indians, Agatha ChristieAnd Then There Were None is a mystery novel by English writer Agatha Christie, widely considered her masterpiece and described by her as the most difficult of her books to write. It was first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939, as Ten Little Niggers, after the British blackface song, which serves as a major plot point. The US edition was not released until December 1939; its American reprints and adaptations were all re-titled And Then There Were None, after the last five words in the nursery rhyme Ten Little Indians.عنوانهای چاپ شده در ایران: «ده بچه زنگی»؛ «ده بومی کوچک»؛ «ده سیاهپوست کوچولو»؛ «دیگر کسی آنجا باقی نماند»، «و آنگاه دیگر هیچ»؛ «کسی نماند دیگر»؛ «و سپس هیچ کس نبود»؛ «و آنگاه هیچکس نماند»؛ تاریخ نخستین خوانش: ماه فوریه سال1982میلادی بار دیگر سال1995میلایعنوان: ده سیاهپوست کوچولو؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: بهمن فرزانه، تهران، کتابهای جیبی، سال1345، در203ص؛ موضوع داستانهای نویسندگان بریتانیا - سده20معنوان: و آنگاه دیگر هیچ؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: بهرا افراسیابی، تهران، سخن، سال1372، در204ص؛ چاپ دوم سال1373؛عنوان: ده سیاهپوست کوچولو؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: محمد قصاع، تهران، آبنوس، سال1373، در271ص؛ چاپ دیگر تهران، صبورا، سال1374، شابک9649175109؛ چاپ دوم سال130؛عنوان: دیگر کسی آنجا باقی نماند؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: پروانه دادبخش، مشهد، جاودان خرد، سال1375، در279ص؛ عنوان: و سپس هیچکس نبود؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: ثریا قیصری، تهران، سمیر، سال1375، در248ص؛ عنوان: ده بچه زنگی؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: خسرو مهربان سمیعی، تهران، هرمس، سال1378، در245ص؛ شابک9646641733؛ چاپ دوم سال1379؛ چاپ سوم سال1386، شابک9789646641730؛ چاپ دیگر تهران، هرمس، چاپ پنجم سال1392، چاپ ششم سال1393؛عنوان: ده بومی کوچک؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: ذبیح الله منصوری، تهران، دنیای کتاب، سال1384، در286ص؛ شابک9643461947؛عنوان: کسی نماند دیگر؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی؛ مترجم: سپیده حبیبی، تهران، نگارش کتاب الکترونیک، سال1394، در94ص؛ ای.بوک؛ مصور، شابک9786008075509؛عنوان: و آنگاه هیچکس نماند؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی ؛ مترجم محمد خیریان؛ ویراستار نجمه‌سادات هاشمی؛ قم، یوشیتا؛ سال1399؛ در224ص؛ شابک9786226412933؛ده تن، هفت مرد و سه زن، توسط افرادی به ظاهر گوناگون دعوت می‌شوند، که تعطیلات خود را در جزیره‌ ای دور افتاده، به نام «جزیره ی زنگی» بگذرانند؛ برخی از آن‌ها پیشتر همدیگر را سر موضوعی می‌شناخته‌ اند؛ ولی بیشترشان پیش از رفتن به جزیره، هیچ‌گاه یکدیگر را ندیده‌ بودند؛ این ده تن هر کدام به گونه‌ ای در بگذشته های خود، یک تن را کشته‌ اند؛ پس از گذشت چند روز در جزیره، آن‌ها درمی‌یابند، که همگی از سوی یک فرد به آنجا فرا خوانده شده‌ اند؛ کسی که با اینکه در جزیره نیست، از راز همگی آن‌ها آگاه است؛ رویدادها در هم می‌ریزند؛ آنگاه همان میزبان آغاز به کشتن و قتل تک‌ تک آنها، به روشی ناباورانه می‌کند، و قربانیان خود را با اقتباس از یک شعر کودکانه، به نام ده بومی کوچک می‌کشد؛ و ...؛تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 23/08/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ 17/12/1400هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

$1.99 Kindle sale, July 29, 2020! If you've never read one of Agatha Christie's murder mysteries, this one is my favorite!Every once in a while on Goodreads I find myself feeling compelled to make a True Confession, and here's another one: I'm not all that much of a Hercule Poirot fan. For someone who's read probably 30 or 40 Agatha Christie books over her lifetime, that's probably an odd thing. I like him okay, I don't DISlike him, but yeah, he kind of irks me sometimes. So when I'm picking up an Agatha Christie mystery, I'm always a little bit tickled when it doesn't involve Poirot. This is one of those books, so it already had a leg up on the competition when I started it.And here's the other thing: with all the Christie books I've read in my lifetime, there are only a handful that I've found really memorable. This, again, is one of those books. In fact, plotwise I would say it's my favorite Christie book of all time. Many Christie fans consider it her masterpiece.Eight very different people are invited to an isolated island off the coast of England. Fairly soon it becomes apparent that they all have one thing in common: they've all been accused of murder but were never convicted or brought to justice. Each person has gotten a written invitation to the island, tailored to their needs or situation, like a job offer or a holiday invitation, most of the invitations coming from someone they don't know who signs the invites as U.N. Owen. Together with the butler and cook who are already on the island, there are ten people. They gather for drinks and to meet their U.N.Known host. While they are waiting, a few things happen:1. They notice a framed copy of the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indians" hanging on the wall, in which the Indians* leave, die or disappear one by one, until there are none. There are also ten Indian figurines on the dining room table. 2. Mysteriously, a recorded voice begins to speak, describing each of the characters in turn and accusing them each of committing murder but evading justice . . . until now. 3. One of the guests laughs off the shock and quickly downs a drink. And immediately chokes and dies. One of the ten figurines is soon discovered to be broken, and the nursery rhyme reflects his manner of death ("One choked his little self and then there were nine").So begins an intense tale, as the guests frantically try to protect themselves and figure out which of them is the killer (or is it someone else hiding on the island?) before they are all dead. And at the same time, they're all dealing with their own feelings of guilt to varying degrees. And the figurines keep disappearing--DUN! DUN! DUN! The psychological exploration in this book is great, beyond anything I recall reading in any other Christie mystery, and the reveal at the end completely surprised me.*Content note: For the record, some readers may have qualms with this nearly 80-year-old novel's dicey history of racial slurs and insensitivity. It was originally actually titled Ten Little Niggers, based on the British version of this poem, which apparently wasn't considered offensive enough not to use in England when the book was first published in 1939. For the American edition of the book, it was changed to "Ten Little Indians" and, later, "And Then There Were None" (which is the version I have, but still with the Indian poem and figurines) - better but still not great. I understand that many recent editions now use ten little soldiers for the poem.

“When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men. And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on Soldier Island.”My first Agatha Christie, and a good one indeed. And Then There Were None just recently came to my attention. Maybe it was the new mini-series or the many people suddenly reading this, but I was intrigued immediately. I can't wait to watch the series!Agatha Christie totally tricked me. I thought I had figured it out, but I was wrong. This novel turned out to be exactly what it promised. A murder mystery, a mad psychothriller of a book. I would have liked a little more detail and character depth, but I have nothing to criticise in general. Would highly recommend.Find more of my books on Instagram

Qué manera de desarrollar una historia de suspense, sin duda un libro magistralmente escrito, mi primer libro de Agatha Christie que superó por mucho mis expectativas!

Extraordinary and gripping novel!I knew that the best way to start reading the literary work by Agatha Christie was choosing her most known book. And There were none is the best-selling mystery novel of all time with 100 million of copies, and the fifth book in the list comprehending all genres. That is something to give to Agatha Christie the respect that she deserves.Initially this novel on UK was titled Ten Little Niggers, only because the original nursery rhyme was called that but it was obviously seen as racist, then in USA was decided to change the title to Ten Little Indians, but again obviously as seen as racist again, so at the end the title was changed to And There were none, and the nursery rhyme inside the book was changed to "Ten Little Soldiers", curiously enough none member of any army so far as pointed out as racist that final change. I mean, the title was just because a widely known nursery rhyme and none character on the book was afro-american or native-american. To this, I want to comment that it's lucky that not many children would had more nightmares since a lot of nursery rhymes have truly scary lyrics. No wonder in stuff like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Saphire and Steel were used nursery rhymes with truly scary effects.Returning to the novel, it was a remarkable reading. Great atmosphere where you feel as trapped as those people on that island.I want to comment that at some point I figured it out who was the murderer, don't worry, I won't tell it, and I have no doubt that some would say: "Oh, sure! I believe you Sherlock!". However I do indeed discovered it. This is not my first mystery story. I have read several books in the genre and I have watched a lot of TV shows like Murder, She Wrote, Columbo, Criminal Minds, CSI: Miami, etc... And while that doesn't turn me into a detective, in my defense, I knew who was only because I focused on the "why" and not the "how" that certainly I didn't know that. You can say that I did an amateur criminal profile and that helped me to have a suspect of my own that it resulted true. Also, I had some advantage for being Spanish speaking since there is a clue that only can be detected due that not matter that I read the novel on English, but taking in account the very detail that it's indeed a printed novel, I catched something and putting together some clues. Well, I figured it out. Believe or not. It doesn't matter.Anyway, I think that many of the fun of reading this kind of mystery novels is trying to figure out the culprit during the process of reading the book. Not matter if you guess right or not, always it's rewarding when the mystery is explained. A delicious way to make your neurons to exercise.Again, knowing who was, or at least thinking that I knew who was, since obviously I couldn't confirm it until reading the whole book, it didn't help me to know how everything was made until it was explained on the novel. Definitely, Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery!Certainly, this novel isn't only a marvellous detective mystery book but also a truly scary horror story. Priceless setting for a scenario and fantastic twisted character developing. Appendix: (July 23rd, 2014) The clue that I found thanks that I am a born Spanish-language speaker:WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!Read ONLY if you already read the novel, since this is a mega-spoiler telling who the culprit is!I seldom put spoilers in my reviews, but I wrote this appendix basically since I was contacted by several readers asking me about the "big clue" and well, while I don't mind to share it, well, also I don't want to find out later that it was written down in some other review as theirs, taking in account that it seems that only me were the one who noticed that.(view spoiler)[Ok, the big fuzz about the clue that I found is that the first character that you find in the novel is Mr. Justice Wargrave on the chapter one, you may say: "So what?", well, the mysterious couple who invited to all guests, the initials of both names of them are U.N.O., in the imaginary woman is "Una Nancy Owen" and the supposed husband is "U.N. Owen. U.N.O. that in Spanish can be spelled just like "uno" which means "one" on English. Maybe that a coincidence, but with Agatha Christie nothing can be left to chance, so I think that may be a clue targeted to the readers with knowledge about Spanish language. (hide spoiler)]
