And Then There Were None

Move over Miss Marple, it's now the audience's turn to solve the most popular murder mystery thriller of all time. Agatha Christie, herself, adapted her 10 million copies sold novel into a dramatic and suspenseful masterpiece.

Is it the doctor, the judge, the cad, the spinster or the butler? Can the intended victims solve the rhyme and be able to save themselves in time?
