״את הספר הזה כתבתי משום שהקושי שהוא הציב בפניי היה מרתק. עשרה בני־אדם צריכים היו למות בלי שהסיפור ייראה מגוחך ובלי שזהותו של הרוצח תתברר מאליה. כתבתי את הספר לאחר תכנון רב ועצום והייתי שבעת רצון מהתוצאה. סיפור ברור וגלוי, מעורר תימהון, אף שפתרון הגיוני לגמרי בצידו; עד כדי כך שצריך היה אחרית דבר כדי להסבירו. הספר התקבל יפה בקרב הקהל והמבקרים, אבל יותר מכול שמחתי בו אני כי יותר מכל מבקר ידעתי כמה זה היה קשה.״ אגתה כריסטי, 1977. ולא נותר אף אחד הוא אחד מרבי־המכר הגדולים ביותר בכל הזמנים, ונחשב בעיני רבים ליצירת המופת של אגתה כריסטי.
