Ten Little Soldier Boys by Agatha Christie

Review by Harshitha Jeyakumar, 9

---

At the height of her career, author Agatha Christie delivered a story that would be the highest standard for a mystery novel. Leaving every reader puzzled, “And Then There Were None” became one of the highest selling mystery novels of all time.

10 people, all with different backgrounds, get killed one by one after they get invited to a mysterious Soldier Island by an even more mysterious 'UN Owens' as per a dark rhyme called ‘Ten Little Soldier Boys’. Was the killer actually one of the 10 or just a horrifying coincidence? The suspense was extraordinary and will get you at the edge of your seat as the survivors start doubting their friends and enemies. The New York Times wrote “The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.” Get prepared to experience the most stressful, suspenseful, and mind-boggling mystery ever created.
