Is there another book like this? A whodunnit where characters die one by one. If there is I would love to read them.

The Invisible Host - Gwen Bristow (apparently the inspiration for Christie's novel)

The following were all inspired by ATTWN:

The Frankenstein Factory – Edward D. Hoch

Maze Of Death – Philip K. Dick (science-fiction and not a fair mystery, but still pretty good)

Bertie And The Seven Bodies – Peter Lovesey

Nine Man’s Murder – Eric Keith

The Riddle Of Sphinx Island – R. T. Raichev

Wow, thank you, exactly what I was looking for. I had no idea that ATTWN was inspired by another book. I thought it was the first of its kind.

Not a book but a film, if you like the supernatural bent, then try The Beast Must Die.

Dragonrat - slave to rats and dogs

Another film, designed as a sophisticated parody of ATTWN: Kind Hearts and Coronets(1949). It's not a whodunit, because the murderer himself narrates the film throughout ("Revenge is a dish best eaten cold") And a woman actually quotes the nasty THREE LITTLE N*** rhyme toward the end, hinting to the murderer that she's figured out what he's done.

Try Agatha Christie's "Death Comes as the End." It is set in ancient Egypt and nearly every character is murdered before the end.
