First there were ten--a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal--and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. And only the dead are above suspicion. (back cover)
I bought this wondering why it's the most popular mystery book of all time, and it is clear to see why!
There are no superfluous details, everything has a reason to be written and the motives and fears of the party do very well to make you sympathetic to the characters.
Definitely give it a read.
Sencillo e intrigante, está bien. Los personajes no me han caído muy bien, pero es entretenido de leer.
Se anche voi come me, iniziate Agatha Christie da questo giallo, beh... rimarrete estasiati. Dieci piccoli negretti (indiani è palesemente un buonismo dei traduttori)è una piccola gemma che fa leva su tutte le interazioni psicologiche tra 10 persone che si ritrovano su un'isola, in una casa, sapendo che tra loro si annida un assassino. Pian piano il gruppo si restringerà, fino a lasciarci completamente spiazzati con un finale davvero ingegnoso.
