If You Liked TEN by Gretchen McNeil You Should Watch...

For those of you who don't know, Ten is a modern story based on Agatha Christie's novel, And Then There Were None. I really enjoyed Ten and if you love mysteries, then you will too. The story captures you from the very first page with the main characters arriving on the island by ferry. I did a more in depth review of the story and the characters themselves, which you can read here.

This brings me to, Harper's Island. It's an older show, I believe from 2009, but I watched it this year and was hooked just the same. As you can tell it also takes place on an island. It's a little different because the characters are older (not teens) and the reason why they are all on this island is for a wedding. But it all goes downhill from there after people start going missing and bodies begin to show up everywhere. See the resemblance? I watched the entire show in one day. So if you don't have time to spend on a new show to add to the list, don't worry. This show only has 13 episodes and concludes nicely.

I quickly became obsessed with Agatha Christie's concept of a group of friends with a murderer among them. So I watched the show and read Ten back to back. I still need to read the original but if you're as obsessed with mystery as I am, then I highly recommend both Ten and Harper's Island. (I also watched the Family Guy episode they did on this, "And Then There Were Fewer" LOL) Let me know if you've watched Harper's Island or read Ten. Are there any other shows you would suggest? I love a good mystery.

Waiting on Wednesday: Ten by Gretchen McNeil

And their doom comes swiftly.
It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor) and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled luxury.
But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.
Suddenly people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off the from the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?

September could not get here any faster. This is probably my most anticipated book of the year (right there along with A Fractured Light, Unwholly and This is Not a Test). An island with a serial killer? I need this book! The premise sounds amazing. Now can we just take a minute and appreciate the awesomeness that is this cover? It is simple, yet really captures the eye. I can't wait to add this to my books read. What do you guys think and let me know what you are waiting for!
