Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick's sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection. At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn't been committed. Yet.

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other "little pigs" who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee), who had her roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess), who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister), who cried all the way home.
Sixteen years later, Caroline's daughter is determined to prove her mother's innocence.

One of the most out of the box murder mystery
One of the most out of the box murder mystery i have ever read. Initially it took some time to establish the plot but as story progresses it left you in a utter disbelief and shock and you can never predict who is the murderer and how the incidents are taking place.

It can’t get better. Hugh Fraser does an excellent job. Many of the readers and listeners would have heard of him as Captain Hastings from the TV series Hercule Poirot. He surpasses himself in the narration.

Epic. So gripping.
I write this as an exhausted father of a toddler and a newborn baby. What was initially planned to be a relaxing hour of story time as the kids were put to bed turned into a vivid imaginative rollercoaster and audible marathon. I’m sure my sleep deprived state contributed to how emotionally drained I was by the climax and twist of the book, but wow. Absolutely loved Christie’s storytelling, as always; and Fraser’s narration is well paced and pleasing. Unfortunately, it is now 4am and a poopy diaper needs attending to, whilst I replay the more gripping parts of the book in my mind.

I suppose I'm just not a fan
Okay, so take my review with a grain of salt, if you are a fan of Christie, this title is probably just fine. This was just one of several attempts to break into the author's collection that met with failure. I suppose I'm just not meant to be a fan.
The narrator did a fine job, but I can't really rate the story much higher as I suppose it's just not my cup of tea, so to speak.

"Creepy" Christie. Brilliant !
When I first read the book many years ago, it affected me like none of her other books had done - it frightened me. Not the "cosy" murder mysteries I loved. I have read it again and again since that time ( with decent intervals between) and it still had the same affect on me. Listening to it is not as scary but still enjoyable. Hugh Frazer is a fantastic narrator, not only in this audio book but in every one he tackles. Think I might be listening to " And Then There Were None " in the not too distant future.

No detective but a fantastic story
Where does And Then There Were None rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is probably one of the best Christie books I have listened to. It isn't the typical detective story that I am used to from Christie but it was fantastic.
What did you like best about this story?
Christie builds up the tension and confusion so well and there was a fantastic plot twist. It was genuinely frightening towards the end. It was a thoroughly good book.
Have you listened to any of Hugh Fraser’s other performances? How does this one compare?
As ever Hugh Fraser read it well and he is so good at performing the different voices.
Any additional comments?

The finest 'locked room' mystery written
This is my favorite Agatha Christie book, it is the best 'locked room' mystery ever written. Having all the characters stuck on an island with an unknown killer picking them off one by one is the perfect story. We get the back story of each character built up throughout the novel and understand why each person has been picked for this island trip. Particularly brilliant is the epilogue which explains the why's and how's of the murders. A gripping story from start to finish.

Classic Christie keeps you guessing
This is one of the Christie's I first read as a teenager in the 60s (when it had a less politically correct name). None of which detracts from the craft Christie employs to bring together a group of diverse characters, each with their own secrets from the past, to an isolated island, where they are 'bumped off' one by one. The mechanism to get them there is a little contrived, but that is forgotten as the sense of menace and suspicion which imbues what follows builds up and increasingly affects the party and their actions. The lack of sympathy for the 'serving classes' struck me, but this is probably representative of Christie's time and background. It doesn't stop the book being a 'cracking good who dunnit?' though and the characters come through the narrators voice as being distinct and believable. The perpetrator and his/her motives are somewhat a surprise... or at least they were to me!

A darkly delicious mystery
What a gem! I absolutely loved this novel, it has all the features of an enthralling whodunnit. The characters are shady, dark and dangerous. Everyone’s a suspect, all harbour guilt and remorse. However, we are kept guessing till the very end. I love Hugh Fraser’s narration, wit and guile. Papa Poirot is absent from this book, but nonetheless it was perfect.

A bit of a slog
My memory of this book is quite different to my experience of it this time. The first half is quite a slog, with no real protagonist to align with. For me, the beauty of Agatha Christie's writing is her sharply drawn but affectionately written characters and her reflections on the human condition. I felt this was lost in the jumble of characters ..this was a plot driven story rather than a character rich one. Hugh Fraser was, as always, wonderful.

Great narration but subpar plot
Hugh Fraser does a great job narrating this plot however, I found the plot to be a bit barebones. The epilogue, in particular, felt like a rushed add-on. I much prefer some of Christie’s other works.

Terrific and Timeless!
Agatha Christie is a one in a million writer. I don't think I need to tell you that already?!
A brilliant and extremely unique physiological thriller that captures and embraces the reader from start to finish. Who did what to whom, why, when and how? Plots within plots all the way.
Hugh Fraser did a fantastic performance throughout. Using a great tempo, he builds up the suspense, the intrigue and the noticeable nuances of the psychological. Portraying a forever changing mental state of the human mind in these characters glues you to the spot.
Totally recommend! A must listen for all the Agatha Christie fans out there or for anyone who likes a bit of mystery and who done it.
Thanks to all who made this happen :)

Old school murder mystery
A fun little murder mystery, albeit a little dated. Has that old school vibe of no one really being alarmed at a murder but rather staring at the people at the dinner table about who did it. It’s a genre, and one that Agatha Christie is the champion off so no complaints from me. Fun characters and a fun conclusion.

It just got better and better
at first I was semi pleased with the story. but as the number of people alive decreased, my enthusiasm for the story increased. Agatha Christie has once again done a fantastic job

Brilliant in every way
Very well performed. A.C. is a true genius of the genre. I never saw the twist at the end coming. A very clearly written whodunnit!
