Actually, original title by Agatha Christie was "Ten Little Niggers" [1]. I didn't read the book, but I really liked the movie [2] (there is eng subs). People in reviews say it's closest and probably best adaptation. IMO, it's excellent.

In France, the original title is still used ("10 petits nègres").

I read the book, but I did not really enjoyed it. But it was a long time ago, I might have been to Young. Or maybe it was the style, which was very different from what I was used to at the time (mostly Ellis Peters)


While that is true I can't see why it's relevant. You're not going to find it under that title except maybe at an antique book seller.


Why the downvotes? Is this an automated flagging system for the n-word?


No. Please don't break the site guidelines by commenting about downvotes. If you feel like a comment has been unfairly downvoted, give it a corrective upvote and move on. That's what others did in this case, and the comment now has a positive score.
