And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None.....

I would say it is one of the most cunning book in the Agatha Christie novels. The one was a stand alone, which lead me thinking back and forth again and again trying to guess who was the killer. At one point I thought someone else was there in the house, unknown to me.
But that's what i love about Agatha.....she leaves you clues openly but we are just too blind to see it.
In this novel also, she cleared all my doubts & perception of the whole plot. It had a nice twist to it.

But personally I love Hercule Poirot novels more as I love his way of explaining everything to us at the end of the book, feels like he is near me & clearing my troubles. So for me this book was lacking that Poirot effect. The plot was solid but the details given to explain the plot was lacking as compared to other Agatha novels where she makes sure we understand the victim as our own.

For me it was a visual treat but not a reading treat. I was able to view the story but I felt Agatha's magic is not there, which will leave you in awe & satisfaction.
