And Then There Were None

Again, this novel written in the 30's proves that almost every solid mystery, twist, and character in this genre has been inspired by works of Christie's. All of her classic elements are there - the dynamic setting/structure, the flavorful characters, and the fact that it's still rare if someone figures out what has happened before they're meant to. What might surprise, actually, is how well-written and how much better the storytelling still is here when compared to more modern-day attempts to tell this type of tale.
