As you probably know, the book I am reading is called "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. I am about 150 pages in and I am really enjoying the book. All of the characters are in a "Mad Mans Mansion" on a secret island. I had an idea in my head about what this mansion might look like, but I wanted to see the authors thoughts and ideas about the mansion to further my knowledge on the book. So I looked up pictures of the mansion and found the one above.
Seeing the mansion planted on the secret island really helps me build a picture in my head as I am reading the book. The way the author portrays the island really correlates with the main mood and tone; dark, gloomy, sinister, isolated, and many more. I really recommend trying this and looking up an important setting in your book so that you know exactly what it looks like. I know that it really helped me by making it easier to follow along and adding a better sense of imagery to the book.
It's awesome that you're enjoying the book. I can tell how the authors description and imagery really contributes to the overall mood.
