Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is the bestselling mystery of all time.  

The story begins when eight disparate guests arrive at an isolated mansion located on an island off the coast of Devon and are tended to by two married domestics who prepared the house for their arrival.  During the first evening a gramophone recording accuses all ten people of past crimes that went unpunished by the law.  Soon they start dying one at a time, and the remaining guests deduce that the murderer is one of their own.
