Utterly amazing.
So here's the gist of it:
Ten people are invited by a mysterious U.N. Owen to stay at this place called Indian island. Sounds great, right?
Well, great for us, not so great for them.
Things begin when a voice speaks to the guests on their very first night, accusing them of murders that they all say they didn't commit.
Then, the deaths start.
After two people die, the survivors begin to suspect murder, and search the island for the killer.
But when nobody is found, there can only be ...more

I'm in a fiction writing workshop right now and Agatha Christie literally does everything my professor tells us not to do, like using hoards of ellipses...
