A: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Yep, this book lover and copyeditor is going to do some book reviews this month. What a surprise—NOT! Let's get started~

     Having never read a book by Agatha Christie before, I had no idea what to expect. It was such a small book, when compared with the several-hundred-page books I typically read. I didn't know what I was getting into!
     The story starts off quite slowly, as the author introduces us to a group of ten, previously unacquainted people, who have all been invited or hired to spend the weekend on Indian Island off the coast of Devon. Not one of the ten strangers knows who has invited them, and none of them has ever been to the island before, but for various reasons, they all accept the invitation. When they arrive, everything seems in order except for one thing-- their host is not there. Thus begins the mystery, and it only deepens when they each discover the Ten Little Indians nursery rhyme posted on a wall in their bedrooms. 
     One by one, people begin to turn up dead, and with each death, the panic increases among the remaining guests. Which one is the killer? As mystery readers, we try to figure it out before all is revealed at the end.  Any reader who actually gets it right before the end of this book, is either lucky or an incredibly good guesser!
