And Then There Were None

The confined location adds so much tension — I wonder if Christie based it on a real place or if it was purely fictional to heighten suspense.

The characters' suspicions escalate so fast, it made me think about how fragile alliances are in real life. Was that a reflection of human nature Christie wanted to explore?

The shifting viewpoints add layers of mystery, but I wonder how the narrative would feel if we only saw the events through one person’s eyes. Would that increase or lessen the suspense?
