And Then There Were None
Writers Gillian Flynn and Christopher Bollen explain why “And Then There Were None” is Agatha Christie’s most compelling mystery. It’s an example of how thrillers are so effective when talking about villains and monsters. Christie’s masterpiece doesn’t rely on a detective to solve the crime, and explores an obsession with both murder and justice.
