Well, I decided to read a book that isn’t on the list yet (well will be in another few months when I update the list). Two RAs I have met in this round of interviews noted it was their favorite book, Agatha Christe’s And Then There Were None. I actually worked as an Assistant Stage Manager many years ago in the play version, Ten Little Indians. This is a murder mystery extraordinaire where ten people who have been witness to murders in the past are all invited to this little island – and they are the only ones there. There is no way to leave the island, alas the boat is gone that brought them there. One by one, they die off. All deaths tied to a nursery rhyme. When it is down to three, a surprising turn of events occurs which only leads to 1, and guess what happens to that person? Christie is the quintessential murder mystery author of her time. This is a good read for those who like a pretty interesting who-done-it story that I think sets the stage for many of today’s murder mysteries (e.g. Clue). The variety of deaths is almost like Prof. Plum in the Dining Room with the Candlestick! You won’t be sorry you read this one!
