Ten Little Niggers (original title of And Then There Were None)
"Ten Little Niggers" is the original title of Agatha Christie's famous mystery novel "And Then There Were None." The story involves ten strangers lured to a remote island where they are accused of past crimes. One by one, they are mysteriously killed in ways that reflect a nursery rhyme, creating a tense and suspenseful atmosphere. The novel explores themes of justice, guilt, and paranoia as the characters try to uncover the killer among them before everyone falls victim. The original title refers to the nursery rhyme used in the story, but it is now recognized as outdated and offensive, leading to the book’s more modern title.
