Agatha Christie – And Then There Were None

Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” is based off a poem, and the book tells a story about ten people, all convicted of a crime, receiving letters to come to a remote island to enjoy a nice week away.

In the Bible, it also talks about deception and how “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord...” (Proverbs 12:22) Injustice like this happens in our world daily, especially if they get away with it. But there is justice, because nothing gets past God. “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out” (Proverbs 10:9).
