First, there were ten—a curious assortment of strangers summoned as weekend guests to a little private island off the coast of Devon. Their host, an eccentric millionaire unknown to all of them, is nowhere to be found. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they're unwilling to reveal—and a secret that will seal their fate. For each has been marked for murder. A famous nursery rhyme is framed and hung in every room of the mansion:
"Ten little boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there then there were seven. Seven little boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in half and then there were six. Six little boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none."
When they realize that murders are occurring as described in the rhyme, terror mounts. One by one they fall prey. Before the weekend is out, there will be none. Who has choreographed this dastardly scheme? And who will be left to tell the tale? Only the dead are above suspicion.
能猜到一部分手法 作为开山之作但是并不够惊艳
看了一半想到凶手可能假死了,但作案过程有两处完全不合逻辑,其中一处让我推理时排除了凶手, 但凡某人长点脑子也不会无人生还
全靠同行衬托。看的时候感觉很有趣,揭示真凶的时候真能气死人。“医生与法官联手“这个解释过于扯淡,太离谱了,甚至一点伏笔都没有。感觉就是阿加莎·克里斯蒂想不到怎么结尾,只能写了个医生与法官联手,然后匆匆完结。不过其他“无人生还”作品更扯淡,所以我还是能接受这结尾的,尽管非常扯淡,说是“烂尾”也不为过。
暴风雪山庄模式的完整补全者
经典之作,暴风雪山庄的开端作
经典之作,代入推理过程太有趣了
某种伟大叙事的开端,最伟大的暴风雪山庄
“圣杯战争”雏形的留言笑死,不过这个主犯实施过程有些牵强啊,某人凭啥要帮呢,你可以说是个精心策划的犯罪小品,但还是有些遗憾
我希望每个推理小说读者都能明白阿加莎的开创意义。
东快和罗杰疑案即便你读了类似的作品以后依旧会惊奇于阿婆的巧思,但无人生还再看后来的孤岛模式小说之后回来就会感觉如白开水般枯燥。。换言之,它作为开山祖师并没有达到那种垄断的地位
