Books like And Then There Were None?
Hi folks.

My all-time favourite mystery novel is "And Then There Were None" (aka "Ten Little Indians") by Agatha Christie. For those who don't know it, it is the classic story of ten people on an island, being killed off one by one and trying to figure out which of them is the murderer. Two movies and a stage play have also come from the movie; the last one is also one of my favourite movies.

Anyway, I love the puzzle of a group of people in a confined area trying to figure out whodunnit. The setting can be an island, a snowed in resort, a cruise ship ...

The Body in the Ivy is a clever homage, for anyone looking for one, and the recent novella Love Is Murder has a good setting (snowed in ski cabin).

I'm not fussy about era, author or setting - even unedited amateur works on smashwords would be welcome. Can you folks recommend any others of this type?

thanks,
Andrew
