Just finished "And Then There Were None" (original title "Ten Little Niggers") by Agatha Christie. This was her 34th book, and was originally published in 1939.
Ten people are invited to spend a week on a remote island off the Cornish coast. One by one they are murdered, but who is the murderer?
This is a masterpiece of crime fiction, and arguable Christie's best novel - it's certainly the one she was most proud of. A superb plot, and I bet nobody can guess "whodunnit"!
Highly recommended.
