I chose this book for my monthly "classic" read. It's a little surprising, but I don't think I've read Agatha Christie previously.

This is a classic locked room mystery, with ten guests being invited to a private island owned by an eccentric millionaire. From the very beginning, things are off to a rough start. The butler-type staff person was instructed to play a record on the gramophone... which accuses each guest of being responsible for a murder. Then, the guests start dying.

They realize that the deaths are following the pattern outlined in the famous nursery rhyme One Little Soldier Boy. Who is behind these deaths? And what is their reason? And how do the police figure out who was the murderer is when all have died and it's not possible that anyone else came onto the island?

With ten island guests, I'll admit I lost track of some of the characters. But overall, it was a fun and interesting book.
