Can second that.

"And then there were none" is also the origin of the "Large group of people being whittled down one by one" trope, that - in my opinion - eventually led to the birth of the Slasher Movie. Which is interesting.

We read ATTWN in grade 9 and it still haunts me, I loved it so much. That’s when I fell I love with mystery

“And Then There Were None” is one of my favorites of all time. Even without a typical detective included, it’s one of the most interesting twists and absolutely a great read. Really interesting take about the slasher movie connection, I’d love to see someone research that!

LoL it certainly led to a fun film called THE CONDEMNED starring Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones.

One of those films which is objectively pretty bad but just extremely fun to watch

Certainly fun to watch, even if only to see all of the stars in that cast, I mean, just wow.
