Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie es conocida en todo el mundo como la Dama del Crimen. Es la autora más publicada de todos los tiempos, tan solo superada por la Biblia y Shakespeare. Sus libros han vendido más de dos mil millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo. Escribió un total de ochenta novelas de misterio y colecciones de relatos breves, más de veinticinco obras de teatro y seis novelas escritas con el pseudónimo de Mary Westmacott. Probó suerte con la pluma mientras trabajaba en un hospital durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, y debutó en 1920 con El misterioso caso de Styles, cuyo protagonista es el legendario detective Hércules Poirot, que luego aparecería en treinta y tres libros más. Alcanzó la fama con El asesinato de Roger Ackroyd en 1926, y creó a la ingeniosa Miss Marple en Muerte en la vicaría, publicado por primera vez en 1930. Se casó dos veces, una con Archibald Christie, de quien adoptó el apellido con el que es conocida mundialmente como la genial escritora de novelas y cuentos policiales y detectivescos, y luego con el arqueólogo Max Mallowan, al que acompañó en varias expediciones a lugares exóticos del mundo que después usó como escenarios en sus novelas. En 1961 fue nombrada miembro de la Real Sociedad de Literatura y en 1971 recibió el título de Dama de la Orden del Imperio Británico, un título nobiliario que en aquellos días se concedía con poca frecuencia. Murió en 1976 a la edad de ochenta y cinco años. Sus misterios encantan a lectores de todas las edades, pues son lo suficientemente simples como para que los más jóvenes los entiendan y disfruten, pero a la vez muestran una complejidad que las mentes adultas no consiguen descifrar hasta el final.

    It was an okay story. The storyline was interesting. I thought it was slow and not very engaging. Not one of my favorites but still worth reading though.

    First of all the narration was great. As to the story, it was chilling! I’d seen the movie a long, long time ago, and it was really freaky, but this ending is completely different. I see why this was Agatha Christie‘s most popular book exclamation mark with over twice as many ratings as her second most popular, which was murder on the Orient express. She obviously Place In This World and unsolvable murder mystery.

    4.5 — finished within a day wow. This is my first Christie and my god what a thrill. Dan Stevens did a phenomenal job narrating. The atmosphere was expertly built up; the characters, distinct and fleshed out. It was fascinating to witness the gradual deterioration of their sense just as the island’s foreboding aura sinks into them and into the reader.

    A compelling, perfectly-paced read.

    Slow start but hang in there. This mystery does NOT disappoint. By chapter 4 or so it really picks up and before you know it you’re sucked in. Great book! Definitely worth a read especially if you’re not familiar with Agatha Christie’s works.

    Still that inimitable sense of impending doom. Still that inevitable dread. Nearly ten years later, And Then There Were None still impresses me with its distinct feeling of terror, guilt, and punishment. Originally published under the title Ten Little Indians, this short mystery delivers an immersive and intense experience right up to the last word.I remember that first time reading it; it was my introduction both to Agatha Christie and the genre of murder mystery. I was housesitting (thankfully, not by myself!) and swallowed the book in one evening. Then I went to bed and dreamt about it all night, it was that consuming. I had rarely read anything so gripping and grimly fascinating. As a classic of the genre, this story's plot is well known. Ten strangers are brought together for a luxurious vacation on Indian Island. None of them quite knows the host, but various inducements—carefully calculated for each person—outweigh their apprehensions. After dinner the first evening, a recording is played that accuses each person of committing a very specific murder or murders that were never punished. One man's reckless driving killed two children (he got off with a fine). A doctor operated while intoxicated and killed the woman under his hands (he was not discovered). A governess deliberately allowed her charge to swim out too far and be drowned (so her lover would inherit the fortune instead of the boy). One man caused the deaths of twenty-one natives somewhere in the bush. One woman's cruelty caused her pregnant, unwed servant to kill herself. And there are several others, all deaths that were more than accidental but somehow never punished. The purpose of Indian Island is to give these murderers their due, outside the reach of the law.The horrid fascination of the story comes into play with the realization that the ten strangers are alone on the island... and one of them is the murderer, slowly picking off his victims according to the old rhyme about the ten little Indians. The terror closes in as the number of Indian figurines on the table (originally ten, to correspond with the number of guests) continues to decrease as each murderer meets his demise. It makes you think about the nature of justice, if these "executions" were justified by the fact that the crimes were indeed committed or if execution is only just in the hands of the state. Hard to say.Of course, the plot is very farfetched and depends heavily on circumstances happening just right to allow each person to die in the fated way. It is all very improbable—but that doesn't take away any of the entertainment value. I won't give away the ending, widely known though it is. If you're new to the genre or to Christie, I can't think of a better place to start than this novel. Just make sure you have a good chunk of time to read it, because once you're in that world, you will want to stay until the resolution.
