And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Essays -- Then There Were

And Then There Were N star by Agatha Christie  And Then There Were None, is an ambitious murder mystery novel that follows the lines of a poem c each(prenominal)ed Ten runty Indians.  The story is intricately written to keep the reader in overbearing suspense from the beginning to end. The novel involves octonary people being mysteriously invited to spend a summer holiday on Indian Island.  Among the eight are a judge (Justice John Wargrave), doctor (Edward James Armstrong), multitude general (General John Macarthur), former inspector/current private scout (William Blore), mercenary (Phillip Lombard), young rich athlete (Tony Marston), religious woman (Emily Brent), and a schoolt for each oneer (Vera Claythorne).  Additionally, a married couple consisting of a butler (Thomas Rogers) and a maid (Ethel Rogers) are both already present on the island.  With the riddance of the Rogers, only the host, who is expected to arrive the next day, is absent.  As th e guests begin talking together, they discover that all of them were invited by a Mr. U.N. Owen.  Wargrave surmises that their hosts name is fictitious since it so closely resembles the word unknown.  The another(prenominal) guests agree, and tension begins to build.  Another mystery is the point that each of the guests has found a poem titled Ten circumstantial Indians in each of their rooms, and mysteriously enough, it appears that there are ten smaller Indian statuettes arranged at the dinner table.  It doesnt take long for each of the guests to ca-ca that the poem and statuettes are representative for each of them. With passing of the for the first time nights dinner, the group hears a mysterious voice condemning each one of them to a specific murder.  A phonograph i... ...led, and even made comments to other guests that he was ready to die.  In an absolute panic, Vera ends up killing Blore and then, not being able to deal with what is happening, s he commits suicide. The last topic of discussion I found was the one pertaining to death.  Death occurs continuously throughout the novel.  After the guests constitute that the other guests are not having mere accidents or killing themselves, they realize they are all going to die.  With the exception of Wargrave, all of the islands guests die.  Rather, they are all murdered. This was an exceptional novel, masterfully written to propel the reader into feeling the real same fears, doubts and suspicions as the characters.  The only thing I didnt like was the fact that Wargrave is never found, nor is there a mention as to why his system is never found.
