Chan teaches online graduate history classes and writes for agathachristie.com, the official Agatha Christie website, and the magazine Gilbert at chesterton.org, which specializes in book and television reviews, in addition to writing historical and critical essays on Agatha Christie’s work.

And Then There Were None was first published in 1939, long before the convenience of cell phones or the Internet. Christie set her story on an isolated island with a mix of characters who are lured to the island, each hiding a dark secret. The host fails to appear and one by one they mysteriously start to die.
