What is the title of the Agatha Christie novel set on Soldier Island?

The Agatha Christie novel set on Soldier Island is And Then There Were None. First published in 1939, it follows ten strangers invited to an isolated island off the Devon coast by the mysterious U.N. Owen. Once there, they are accused of separate past crimes and begin dying one by one in ways that follow the pattern of a nursery rhyme.

Soldier Island is fictional, although Christie drew inspiration from real coastal locations, including Burgh Island in South Devon. The island’s isolation is central to the mystery: rough seas and the absence of reliable communication leave the guests trapped together while suspicion spreads.

Readers sometimes confuse this title with Evil Under the Sun, another Christie mystery associated with an island setting. They may also encounter older editions using the original title Ten Little Niggers or the later American title Ten Little Indians. These are alternate publication titles for the same novel, while And Then There Were None is the widely accepted modern title.
