"Ten Little Ns" is a mystery novel by Agatha Christie, first published in 1939. The story revolves around ten strangers who are invited to a remote island under various pretexts. Upon their arrival, they discover that their mysterious host is absent, and they are left alone with a recording accusing each of them of committing a murder. Soon after, one by one, the guests are murdered in a manner that mirrors the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Ns." As fear and suspicion mount among the remaining survivors, they must unravel the identity of the killer among them before it's too late. The novel is renowned for its clever plot twists, psychological suspense, and intricate puzzles, making it one of Christie's most celebrated works.
