Creator/AgathaChristie published the novel in 1939 and later adapted the story into a play (with an AdaptationalAlternateEnding) in 1943. The various [[TheFilmOfTheBook film versions]] mostly use the play's ending or a variation thereof, which makes sense once you know the book's ending. Screen adaptations include a [[Film/AndThenThereWereNone1945 1945 film]], a 1965 film (titled ''Ten Little Indians''), a 1974 film, a 1987 Russian film, a 1989 film (titled ''Ten Little Indians''), and a [[Series/AndThenThereWereNone2015 2015 BBC miniseries]]. The 1987 and 2015 versions are the only major adaptations that retain the original ending.

* AcquittedTooLate: This book is the TropeNamer. Judge Wargrave remarks that only the dead are above suspicion. However, it's more of an InvokedTrope here than a straight example; once the "death proves innocence" idea takes hold, the killer fakes his own death to throw suspicion off himself.
