　　　When readers talk about famous British writer Agatha Christie, it seems that her famous detective novels featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are must-reads. So, of course, are her best-selling novels Murder on the Orient Express (1934) and Death on the Nile (1937).

　　　But when readers around the world were asked to name their favorite Christie novel to mark her 125th birthday in September, And Then There Were None (1939) topped the list, reported The Guardian. And the BBC TV adaptation of the novel will premiere on Dec 26.

　　　It may surprise you to learn that it is a crime novel without a detective. What it does have is suspense and a very sinister (邪恶的) atmosphere.

　　　In the story, a group of 10 people gets an invitation to come to a house on a small island near Devon in South West England. Nobody refuses these invitations since each one is promised something the person wants: a job, a holiday, a chance to meet up again with an old friend ...

　　　These people are all responsible for deaths. Some are directly responsible, others are responsible because of what they did not do. Anthony James Marston, for instance, killed two children while driving dangerously. He did not feel guilty and actually complained when he was banned from driving. Another, Emily Caroline Brent, is a harsh person who threw out a young servant for becoming pregnant while unmarried. The servant later killed herself.

　　　When they arrive at the house they are played a recording. The voice gives details of the wrongdoing of each of the guests. Starting with Marston, each is killed in a way that fits his or her crime. The series of deaths is completed with a hanging, "and then there were none", as the title suggests.

　　　Some of Christie's works have a predictable ending, but this book is full of clever writing. Look it up to find out what this hugely successful mystery writer, the "Queen of Crime" as she was called, could do at her best.

4．All of the following are Agatha Christie's works EXCEPT ______.
