And Then Wr None E
/type/text Agatha Christie has been honoured by the Queen of England with the title "Dame Agatha Christie," and The New Yorker has observed of her works that they "have probably been outstripped in sales only by Shakespeare and the Bible." There can be little doubt that the more than 80 novels she has written are all considered significant contributions to the field of detective fiction. However, And Then There Were None is regarded by most critics to be her masterpiece. In this extraordinary mystery story, ten bodies are found by Scotland Yard inspectors on a deserted island--ten murder victims, yet no murderer in sight, and no way the murderer could have escaped! It is not only the solution, but the construction of this ingenious novel that accounts for its tremendous ongoing popularity.
