Explaining Authors Writing Craft/Style

     I am reading "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie and i am about 100 pages in. Everyone in the mansion was suspicious from the start but their suspicion has grown immensely throughout the book. People are just randomly dying as time goes on, and as each person dies, more things are discovered and they draw closer to what is going on. 
     So far, two people have died under extremely quirky circumstances. There were ten clay dolls in the middle of the dining room table, and there were ten people there to start. As each person dies, a clay doll goes missing from the table. Some questions that not only i am asking, but the characters in the book are asking too are: What will happen next? Who will die next? Who is the mysterious host of the mansion? Why are the dolls going missing? Why cant the leave the island? 
     I think that when you are righting a novel like "And Then There Were None", it is very smart to make the reader question things, just like I am right now, because if you are left with questions like this, you are going to keep reading on until you find some answers. Making the reader ask questions is a good way of intriguing them, and enhancing the mystery in the story. I will definitely be using this technique in the next novel i write.

New Book I am Reading

     The book that I am currently reading is "And Then There Were None". The title drew me in because it left me in complete suspense. I didn't know what there was "none" of. I automatically wanted to open up the book and explore what was inside.

     The cover of the book really enhances the mystery because it portrays an island surrounded by fog and completely isolated from the rest of the world. Also, in the top right corner, there is a person standing on the cliff, this really makes me want to find out who that person is and what they are doing on this mysterious island.
     After reading the title and examining the picture, i had to read the back cover to find out more about this mystery. I found out that 10 people, each with something to hide, and something to fear, are invited to a lonely mansion on a private island off of the coast of Devon. Upon arriving, each guest has been marked for murder. Who invited these ten guests? Why were they specifically chosen to die? Who is killing them? What do they all have in common? These are just a fraction of the question i had after reading the back cover. I cant wait to unravel the mystery of island, of the guests, of the mansion, and of the host. Stay tuned for further updates regarding the plot, setting, and characters.
