The novel is renowned for its intricate plot, clever misdirection, and the iconic setting of a secluded island, making it a cornerstone of the mystery genre. The story explores themes of guilt, justice, and the consequences of past actions, all wrapped in a suspenseful narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
