b'A bit of a supersized episode for a supersized novel! It is time, at long last, for And Then There Were None. Join us as we focus on the text only (film adaptations to be discussed next week), and revel in what many consider to be Christie\\u2019s most glorious creation, outlier though it undoubtedly is when considered in the context of her overall canon. We also deal with the unfortunate original title, as well as the unfortunate allusions made in earlier editions to that problematic nursery rhyme. We will say this, however: as Christie\\u2019s first novel to incorporate a titular rhyme, it\\u2019s almost definitely her most successful. Consider it one more thing to celebrate in this gem of a novel.'
