So, Soldier Island is basically a big rock off the coast of Devon in England. So Phil, tell us a little bit about Soldier Island. They've all been invited to Soldier Island, some to work, some to vacation, and some for, well, no one really knows. But first, we should explain why these characters have come together in our story. Let's introduce them as we meet them in the reading. Well, readers, we certainly have quite a cast of characters in today's novel. And all this, as little toy soldier statues disappear one by one from a display in the main parlor, according to a poem written by Frank Green in 1869. Unmet by any host or hostess, their curiosity turns to fear when a hidden recording accuses each guest and employee of deadly crimes/ the fear quickly turns to panic as the guests one by one start to die, some mysteriously, and some of obvious causes. Before we get started, I want to give you a quick summary of And Then There Were None, written by Agatha Christie and published in England in 1939 as Ten Little Indians, And Then There Were None is the story of 10 strangers separately lured to a mansion on remote Soldier Island with promises of adventure, work, or just a relaxing holiday. And I'm joined by our Novel Conversations readers, Elizabeth Flood and Phil Setnik. This episode's conversation is about the novel, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. So, if you love hearing a good story, you're in the right place.
We introduce you to the characters, we tell you what happens to them, and we read from the book along the way. And together, we summarize the story for you. I'm your host, Frank Lavallo, and for each episode of Novel Conversations, I talk to two readers about one book.
Hello, and welcome to Novel Conversations, a podcast about the world's greatest stories.
