And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie


SYNOPSIS:  Eight strangers are invited to stay at a mansion on an island mysteriously.  One by one they are murdered in a strange manner.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  If you like mysteries, you can't go wrong with Agatha Christie, and this is my favorite.  The same thing can be said of all of her mysteries:  they are well thought out, with surprising endings.  Of course, there is always a murder or two, some in violent manners, and the writing style may prove difficult for young readers to understand.

RATING:  PG13 for violence (although not as bad as other PG13 books)

AUDIENCE:  Teens, Young adults, and Adults

STARS:  4

BOOKS LIKE THIS:  The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, mysteries by Mary Higgins Clark
