Ten Little Indians
by Agatha Christie
In this superlative mystery by Agatha Christie, the "Ten Little Indians" are statuettes on the mantel of a country house on an island off the coast of England. A nursery rhyme embossed above them tells how each little Indian met his death--until there were none. Eight guests are invited to this queer place by a mysterious host. They have never met each other or their host. A voice accuses everyone present, including the two servants, of murder. While the guests are exchanging data on themselves and their host, one of the Indians topples off the mantelpiece and one of the guests dies! One down and nine to go--or are there? The excitement and suspense never let up as the mystery spirals to its conclusion.
