Overview & Summary

Ten strangers, each with a hidden crime in their past, are lured to an isolated island mansion off the English coast, supposedly by a host who never appears. One by one, the guests are murdered in ways that echo the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme hanging in every room, and with no way to escape the island, paranoia spreads as they realize the killer must be one of them. Agatha Christie's most famous standalone mystery, it remains the best-selling crime novel of all time.
