The book that emerged as the frontrunner in the international online poll conducted during the year of Agatha Christie’s 125th birthday, aimed at identifying the most beloved of her 80 crime novels.
In 1939, Europe stands on the edge of war. Ten individuals are summoned to Soldier Island, a remote rock off the Devon coast. Isolated from the mainland and with their generous hosts, Mr. and Mrs. U.N. Owen, mysteriously missing, each guest finds themselves accused of a heinous crime. When one member of the group dies unexpectedly, they come to the horrifying realization that a murderer may be among them.
The ten guests comprise a reckless playboy, a troubled Harley Street physician, a formidable judge, a coarse detective, a ruthless mercenary, a devout spinster, two restless servants, a highly decorated general, and an anxious secretary. One by one, they are eliminated. Who will endure? And who is the murderer? Copies of a sinister nursery rhyme are displayed in each room, with the killings reflecting the dreadful fates of its 'Ten Little Soldier Boys'.
This book, the clear victor in an international online survey to determine the world’s favorite Agatha Christie novel, is also being released in paperback alongside a new three-part BBC television adaptation featuring a remarkable cast: Douglas Booth, Charles Dance, Maeve Dermody, Burn Gorman, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Toby Stephens, Noah Taylor, and Aidan Turner.
