And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
It's hard to discuss mystery books without mentioning the great Agatha Christie. Among her writings, none has a tale as well-crafted as And Then There Were None, which explains why it is the best-selling mystery novel of all time.
The plot revolves around 10 people who are drawn together for various reasons to an empty estate on an island. The mystery hosts of this bizarre party are not there, but they have left orders for two of the 10 to take care of the home as housekeepers and cook. As the days pass in line with the words of a nursery rhyme, each invitee is forced to face the music (literally) and endure the repercussions of their troubled pasts, as death comes one by one.
