《无人生还》获评阿加莎最受欢迎的小说
Murder mystery And Then There Were None has been named the world's favorite Agatha Christie novel in a poll.
在一次民意调查中,谋杀悬疑小说《无人生还》被评为阿加莎·克里斯蒂在全球范围内最受欢迎的小说。
The 1939 thriller received 21% of the votes, with Murder on the Orient Express and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd coming second and third respectively.
Fans were asked to choose a favorite to mark the 125th anniversary of Christie's birth on 15 September.
And Then There Were None depicts 10 strangers stranded on an island, all accused of getting away with murder.
As members of the party start to die mysteriously, the survivors realize they may be harboring a murderer among their number.
The book - which does not feature Christie's famous detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple - has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, making it one of the most popular novels of all time.
It received 21% of the votes in the online poll, run by Christie's estate, which attracted more than 15,000 respondents.
Christie's grandson Mathew Prichard, who is also the chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd, said: "It has been genuinely exciting to see fans from all around the world cast their votes for the World's Favorite Christie.
"In And Then There Were None, my grandmother has crafted a staggeringly complex plot, which has baffled, entertained and surprised readers since it was first published in 1939 and will, I hope, do so for years to come."
