Is 'And Then There Were None' a orthodox detective story?


Is 'And Then There Were None' a orthodox detective story?

The definition for orthodox is following or conforming to the traditional or generally accepted rules or beliefs of a religion, philosophy, or practice. Therefore, my interpretation of an ‘orthodox detective story’ is a simple murder mystery that is extremely predictable throughout the storyline. In my opinion, ‘And Then There Were None’ was not an orthodox detective story. This is because I found my judgment continuously changing on each character and I was confused as to what would happen at the end of the story when the mystery was trying to be solved. ‘And Then There Were None’ was not a predictable story and I enjoyed the unique, different narrative and aspects to it.

Thanks for Reading,
