While working on my book review of "Gone Girl" and trying to prevent spoilers, I started the well-loved novel "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie.
This book is about a group of people summoned by a mysterious host with seemingly nothing in common.
I am only 18% in and it is building suspense quite well. I know from my friends who read this awhile ago that they will be killed off, one by one. I don't really remember that much because they told me about it awhile ago.
My favorite thing about this book so far is the cover art: at first it looks normal but if you look a little closer, you'll see the skull in front of the house foreshadowing a not so happy beginning, or ending.
Based on what I know, I made a connection to a recently aired reality TV show called "Whodunnit?" which is about hte same thing. There is a fake murder every day and the killer is disguised as a guest. In order to save your life for the next day to keep competing for the 1/4 of a million prize, you have to prove to the killer that you're a worthy adversary and be the best to solve the case.

I love the show Whodunnit, so I think I would like this book!
