Ten strangers, each with a dark past, are lured to a secluded island by an unknown host. As they begin to die one by one, following the sinister pattern of a nursery rhyme, paranoia and suspicion run high. The guests must uncover the identity of their killer before they become the next victim. This gripping tale of suspense and intrigue keeps readers on the edge of their seats, with a twist that will leave them guessing until the very end. The novel's clever use of the nursery rhyme as a blueprint for the murders is a testament to Agatha Christie's mastery of the mystery genre.
