And Then There Were None - Francesca

This book is about ten people on an island, eight of them invited by the "owner" of the island. The owner never shows up, and the ten of them are trapped on the island, because a boat never comes to pick them up. After all of their murdering pasts are revealed, they all begin to be murdered, one by one. Their accusions differ from person to person, but what happens when they search the island, and realize there is nobody there but themselves? They then come to the conclusion that the murderer has to be one of them. But who is it? Moreover, there are many hints and clues throughout the book, and also many characters to try to keep up with. Having ten characters in the story makes it a bit difficult in remembering the facts. This book also has an addciting side effect. Don't start reading unless you know you have time to finish it without stopping. It becomes impossible to put down. I will admit, I thought this was going to be a boring book. I dreaded reading the first chapter, but after that, I couldn't put it down. The suspense keeps you interested and ready for more. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. However, I would also recommend going on sparknotes.com while reading the book for a complete character list that will significantly help you keep up.
