And Then There Were None
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, was about ten people chosen to go on an Island vacation. Their host (or hostess) is unknown. AKA U.N. Owen. One by one the guests die off in ordinance with the poem about the ten little Indians. After searching the Island from top to bottom and finding nothing, they come to the conclusion that it must be one of them, but who and why? The killer seemed to be Dr. Armstrong. The first two murders were dead giveaways (no pun intended). After Anthony Marston was poisoned, it was Dr. Armstrong who identified the poison. Potassium cyanide. The only way he could he known that was if he put it there himself because it has no odor. The other of course would not have known that. The poison could also be very accusable to the doctor. In Mrs. Rogers case, (the 2nd murder) the doctor gave her what was said to sleeping pills, but they could easily have been something else. Who would really know? General MacArthur was the next to be killed .
When the General did not show up for lunch, Mr. (The noose was set up when he was in the house killing Blore). After murdering Rogers, his clothes probably had some blood on them, so by the time Lombard knocked on his door, he was almost dressed fully in his clean clothes. Trying to figure out the person who is involved with all the crimes, this reader is wrong about the murderer. During all of the excitement from Veras' scream (obviously planned). When Vera screams, everyone runs upstairs. This murder was committed while the men were searching the island, even though one single person had an alibi for his whereabouts when he was killed. Blore said that Armstrong came up last and thought that he was behind him. The group notices that Wargrave is missing. Rogers dead, everyone overslept because he was not there to wake them up. On the morning when they found Mr. Armstrong was the only one on the island with a needle (and access to poison) to be able to murder Emily Brent.
