Undoubtedly, what the Queen of Crime created is truly one of the most unique settings that stands the test of time: ten invited guests arrive on an island, only to find that not only is the host missing, but they cannot even step off the island. Being stuck there makes matters worse when, one by one, each character is killed. The remaining guests are left to wonder <em>who<\/em> and <em>how<\/em>, while the reader is left to wonder <em>why?<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B0j7vKgRy\">And Then There Were None<\/a><\/strong><\/em> was released in 1939, when time was unhurried and enjoyed. Agatha Christie\u2019s style of describing the setting, allowing each character to take shape in the reader\u2019s mind and planting doubts as the narrative carries on, is a skill one cannot fathom today. She lets details absorb and settle in the mind, slowly building the intensity of the suspense. Mind you, her books are never boring, yet she still manages to create an ample, deep profile for every character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But today\u2019s thrillers are the complete opposite. Freida McFadden is especially popular for her quick turnaround, piquing the reader\u2019s interest immediately and keeping them hooked. This method is addictive. The narrative is fast-paced and heightened by the reveals, the whiplash-y turns, and then the ultimate hammer on the head\u2014the final twist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take McFadden\u2019s book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B055HQTjM\"><strong>Never Lie<\/strong><\/a><\/em> for comparison. It is a psychological thriller where, instead of an island, we have a couple stuck in an estate during a brutal blizzard. There are no chapters dedicated purely to setting the scene; instead, there is just pure, unadulterated thrill that creeps in very early in the book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having read both books, I love both approaches. The slow and atmospheric storytelling of Christie is a true treat for a thriller enthusiast, as it enables the reader to form a vivid mental image of the story and develop a deep opinion about the characters. It is a pleasure to deconstruct the plot and guess the killer\u2014only to be proven completely wrong when the magic of Christie\u2019s final brainwave hits at the end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas McFadden\u2019s style is to immediately captivate the reader\u2019s attention using a sharp hook in the very first chapter. She enjoys throwing the reader off with surprising details and backstories, giving you no time to breathe between pages. Such is the adrenaline rush and the inquisitiveness to find out the perpetrator that when the ending comes, none of us is prepared for it. <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/link.amazon\/B055HQTjM\">Never Lie<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, especially, has a climax that has taken every reader by complete surprise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both of these methods leave you reeling, but for completely different reasons. Isn\u2019t that fascinating?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Curator\u2019s Question<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which kind of twist leaves you more satisfied: the meticulously laid chess-match reveal of Agatha Christie, or the sudden hammer-blow ending of Freida McFadden?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Books: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, Never Lie by Freida McFaddenFocus: Vintage Thrill vs Modern Adrenaline A \u201clocked-room\u201d thriller is unlike any other\u2014a setting where the characters cannot escape the location or each other.
