Review Detail

Ten is an " on the edge of your seat thriller". I was thrilled to hear talk of Ten being a modern day telling of And Then There Were None. Similar to the novel, ten teenagers are picked off one by one. The true mystery being- who is the murderer? Is someone targeting the teens? Is it one of them? Or is something supernatural going on? But there is where the similarities end. McNeil takes the concept and twists it in a new and fresh way. I was thrilled to see that it was beyond a remake.

McNeil's writing style is clear and straight to the point, while building a mysterious and creepy tone that keeps the suspense high. I am recommending the book to my students and my friends. My one bit of advice to everyone;buy the book, wait for a rainy day full of crying winds and thunder, curl up with your blankets, a flash light and read!  One of the Best books of Fall 2012. Readers will not be disappointed.
