And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie Plot (No Spoilers)
This is a thrilling murder mystery book by one of the best authors of all time. This is definitely a favourite (it is mine)!Ten people are invited for a weekend on an island by a Mr U. N. Own, but he isn't on the island. At dinner a record is played, by that all the people are accused of murder, suddenly the first of them is dead, then the next... It seems to be that one of them is the murderer Mr. U. N. Own, but the person in suspect is always the person who is murdered next. At last only two people seem to be left. But which one is the real murder? 
Rated: 4 STARS
SPOILER REVIEW:
It all starts with a rhyme that goes:
Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Soldier boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Soldier boys traveling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.
Seven little Soldier boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Soldier boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Soldier boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Soldier boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Soldier boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two Little Soldier boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Soldier boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none. 

It is so freaky. Each person in the book dies exactly how it describes in the poem. If everyone dies, who is the murderer? Well, it is SO clever. I'm not going to tell you who it is, but I'll give you a clue:
Its the person you least expect.


Thankyou Readers
