AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie first published as TEN LITTLE NIGGERS. The title was changed to, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE for the UNITED STATES EDITION and the name of the nursery rhyme was changed in the text to TEN LITTLE INDIANS.
In the novel, ten people who had not been complicit in the deaths of others but thus far escaped notice or punishment are tricked into coming to an island. Although they are the only people on the island, each guest is successively murdered in a manner paralleling the deaths enumerated in the nursery rhyme.
It is an excellent and suspenseful novel. I really enjoyed reading it!!!
