Ten little niggers is a mystery nov

Ten little niggers is a mystery novel by Agatha Christie, widely considered her masterpiece and described by her as the most difficult of her books to write. It is Christie's best-selling novel with over 100 million copies sold, also making it the world's best-selling mystery, and one of the best-selling books of all time. Publications International lists the novel as the seventh best-selling title.
In the novel, ten people are lured into coming to an island under different pretexts, e.g. offers of employment or to enjoy a late summer holiday, or to meet with old friends. They are met by the butler and cook, making a total of ten people known to be on the island. While awaiting their hosts, they find a framed copy of the nursery rhyme "Ten Little Niggers" hanging on the wall, and notice ten figurines on the dining room table, as well as discussing other oddities about the house and their visit. The butler plays a gramophone record while they are talking, as he had been instructed to do; unexpectedly the recording contains a voice that describes each visitor in turn and accuses each of having committed murder but evaded justice, and asks if any of "the accused" wishes to offer a defence. All appear to be shocked and most profess innocence. Anthony Marston and Philip Lombard, however, admit the charges are true, and Miss Brent refuses to discuss the matter with the gentlemen but the next day relates her account to Vera Claythorne. In the aftermath, Marston finishes his drink. However, it was poisoned with potassium cyanide and he chokes and dies almost immediately. Subsequently the guests notice one of the ten figurines is now broken, and the nursery rhyme appears to reflect the manner of death. The rest of the guests are killed off one by one, although there is an enormous red herring, which makes the order of deaths not what it initially appears.
Despite the fact that I like novels with mysterious storyline this novel did not like me because it seemed quite boring for me, unfortunately. The plot is confusing and the story did not catch my interest. I read detective story the first and the last time and now I am sure that I will not read it more.
