Agatha Christie
Even the unflappable Miss Marple is astounded as she reads the letter addressed to her on instructions from the recently deceased tycoon Mr. Jason Rafiel, whom she had met on holiday in the West Indies (A Caribbean Mystery). Recognizing in her a natural flair for justice and a genius for crime-solving, Mr. Rafiel has bequeathed to Miss Marple a £20,000 legacy -- and a legacy of an entirely different sort. For he has asked Miss Marple to investigate...his own murder. The only problem is, Mr. Rafiel has failed to name a suspect or suspects. And, whoever they are, they will certainly be determined to thwart Miss Marple's inquiries -- no matter what it will take to stop her.

"And Then There Were None is my favorite of all, it was the first one that got me hooked on her books 📚 "

"I recommend reading A Carribean Mystery before this one! They are linked."
Suzanne Dower
"One of Agatha Christie's best!"

"I'm a huge fan of Agatha Christie, but I can't say this novel worked very well for me. I think that Miss Marple works better as a short story subject, as her "adventures" tend to be rather quiet and it's hard to stretch them out to novel length. To make this long enough, I feel like we travel the same ground multiple times, with Christie explaining Miss Marple's reasoning two or three times in the novel to different characters, so we're getting the same information again and again."
