Adam Roberts wrote a interesting appreciation of this book: “This is not to absolve Ten Little Niggers of its horrible title, or Christie’s work generally of its ubiquitous though low-level racism. On the contrary; it is to highlight the way that this novel — not to labour the point, but a book published in 1939 — is precisely about an ingenious though sadistic plot to isolate a number of clever, mostly affluent but fundamentally wicked people on an island, and dispose of them.”
