Genre: Mystery
Length: 276 pgs.
Rating: **** (Loved it!)
Rating: Last month some friends on Twitter decided to get together to do a Twitter book club, and for October, we chose And Then There Were None to fit the spooky month. Right from the first the voice grabbed me. I am a huge sucker for that cool cucumber 1930s voice. This one was a definite thriller and so much suspense. I never guessed who the murderer would be, although it made total sense at the reveal. The characters were perfectly icky and likable at the same time. Classic! She really was a master.
Content:
Sex - 0
Language - 0 (None that I marked.)
Violence - 3 (It is a murder mystery with a serious psychological twist. Nothing too graphic.)
Try this. Like And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie? Try Rules of Murder by Julianna Deering.
I love AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, and have read it more than once. There's an intensity to the story that just grabs you.
