I'm looking for a thriller/mystery/suspense book which follows the "And Then There Were None" plot style.

Asked by luigirovatti (2950points) August 7th, 2021

A group of people are invited to attend a get-together, on the countryside, on a private island, etc., then, one by one, all the guests at the party, etc, are murdered. They can’t escape. The rest is up to recommendations. There can be a face-off between the impostor and the last survivor, the impostor kills them all, there’s more than one impostor (i.e. with accomplices), etc. Finally, you can’t trust anyone. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I am reading the book The Missing by Kiersten Modglin which seems to be going in that direction. 5 strangers end up on a deserted island and they don’t know why they are there and don’t trust each other at all. I’m only about 100 pages into it, but I think this may be the type of book you are looking for.

Agatha Christie?

Are you looking for a specific book? Or recommendations for a type of genre?

Have you tried Ten Little Indians?

@Lightlyseared isn’t that the same story?

“The Last of Sheila” comes to mind. Not the same plot but a similar structure. Also “Murder on the Orient Express.”

Try “The Guest List” by Lucy Foley.

@kneesox yes. That’s why I suggested it.
