[BOOK SUMMARY & REVIEW] “TEN LITTLE BLACK MEN”:
“Ten Little Black Men” (And Then There Were None) is one of Agatha Christie’s most classic detective masterpieces – a work that the “Queen of Detective Fiction” herself acknowledged as her most difficult yet most brilliant book. Unlike typical detective novels, the story doesn’t feature a brilliant detective like Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Instead, the entire story revolves around ten complete strangers, invited to an isolated island – and then one by one, they die, according to a mysterious nursery rhyme.
