Evaluation
And Then There Were None, is a classic murder mystery chalked full of suspense and mystery . The unknown murderer is one of the ten characters adding a intense mystery aspect. Not knowing who is the next victim provides suspense. Though there is suspense, the beginning of the book can confuse you, Also characters can easily be mixed up. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys murder mysteries , wants a page turner and dramatic conclusion.
