Author: Agatha Christie
Rating: It was amazing!
Recommendation: Fans of other Agathie Christie novels, like “Murder on the Orient Express”, or fans of thriller/mystery books in general.
This mystery brings ten very different people together, with one thing in common: they have all killed someone before, whether intentionally or unintentionally. One ran over two children with his car, one sent a man into a war he didn’t return from, and so on. Each of these ten people got a mysterious invitation to Soldier Island. A morbid children’s rhyme on the mantel of the mansion on this island, with ten toy soldiers nex to it, describes the various ways in which ten soldier boys died, starting with the first who choked himself, and the last who hanged himself. Soon, the island’s visitors find themselves stuck in this nightmarish rhyme, where each of them begins dying in the same ways of the soldier boys, and in the the same order. After a thorough search of island, when no one other than the ten visitors are found, one things becomes clear. The murderer is among them, and they most figure out who it is, before it’s too late.
