Publisher's summary

Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by the mysterious U.N. Owen. Over dinner, a record begins to play, and the voice of an unseen host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. That evening, former reckless driver Tony Marston is found murdered by a deadly dose of cyanide. The tension escalates as the survivors realise the killer is not only among them but is preparing to strike again...and again.

Nice Performance！

Trilling story and wonderfully narrated by Hugh Fraser. In fact I've watched the movie before, but it did not lessen my reading and listening experience.

Murder Mystery on an Island

What did you love best about And Then There Were None?

As acclaimed as the book has been over the years, the actual story tore the fabric of mystery and misdirection and left me guessing till the end

Who was your favorite character and why?

The School teacher ... she kept me guessing

Epic. So gripping.

I write this as an exhausted father of a toddler and a newborn baby. What was initially planned to be a relaxing hour of story time as the kids were put to bed turned into a vivid imaginative rollercoaster and audible marathon. I’m sure my sleep deprived state contributed to how emotionally drained I was by the climax and twist of the book, but wow. Absolutely loved Christie’s storytelling, as always; and Fraser’s narration is well paced and pleasing. Unfortunately, it is now 4am and a poopy diaper needs attending to, whilst I replay the more gripping parts of the book in my mind.

great great great

nice and quick fun storyline. nail biting with a great twist. classic whodunnit. big fan :)

I suppose I'm just not a fan

Okay, so take my review with a grain of salt, if you are a fan of Christie, this title is probably just fine. This was just one of several attempts to break into the author's collection that met with failure. I suppose I'm just not meant to be a fan.

The narrator did a fine job, but I can't really rate the story much higher as I suppose it's just not my cup of tea, so to speak.
