✨ AND THEN THERE WERE NONE by Agatha Christie

The Read Herring Book Club pick for Oct 2025 (I know I’m late posting this 🙊)

LET’S DISCUSS:

1. Do you consider ATTWN to be fair play?

2. Do you think ATTWN is best described as a mystery or a thriller?

3. What books or authors do you think took inspiration from ATTWN?

4. If one character were to leave Soldier Island alive, who would you want it to be?

Looking forward to your thoughts! And as a reminder, please join me in reading THE DECAGON HOUSE MURDERS by Yukito Ayatsuji this month!! 🕵️‍♀️

The most mysterious birthday of all time 🚂❤️✨

What a THRILL to host my dream birthday party! Twelve of my most suspicious friends joined me on a cross-country train—and OOP! We found a body 👀

Dinner, crime solving, and “evidence” goodie bags ensued. I’ve got some more content up on TikTok 😇

Thank you to my dear friends for joining me and taking this so incredibly seriously. The costumes were so insane.

Shoutout to @karlstraussbeer for the fab location and great service, and #talkingtables for the excellent mystery game. 🍻

🚨 MYSTERY BOOK CLUB 🚨

Get in, losers!! We’re solving TWO mysteries just in time for spooky season. ☠️

🔍 OCTOBER: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (1939)

Ten strangers, each with something to hide, are summoned by a mysterious stranger to an isolated island off the coast of Devon. One by one, they meet their end . . .

The best-selling mystery of all time, and Agatha Christie’s finest work. A must-read if you haven’t already, and a perfect choice for a reread if you have.

🔍 NOVEMBER: The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji (1987)

Seven students spend a week-long vacation on Tsunojima Island off the coast of Japan, where six months prior, the inhabitants were brutally murdered in an unsolved case. Upon arrival, they begin to suspect they, too, are in danger.

An homage to Christie’s classic, this is Ayatsuji’s debut novel and an example of Japanese honkaku (traditional) mystery.

We will read both, and therefore be able to compare and contrast 🕵️‍♀️

Discussions will take place in my Discord server, The Locked Room, which you can join via my Bindery (🔗 in my bio). Any trouble joining just DM me and I’ll help you out! And if there is interest in a live discussion (Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Zoom) please tell me!!!!
