A

books. In addition to, "And then

B
rent, the family name of Emily, the 65 year old
daughter of a Colonel, and definitely not happy with the way the world is going
now. She liked every thing as it was 45
years ago, when children did what their parents told them to and when everyone
respected their elders, but now .....
C
oroner's inquest having turned her life upside down,
Vera Claythorne has had tough luck so
far in her life. She does not have a lot
of money, and has had trouble finding a job after the inquest. Even though she
had been acquitted, people still look at her funny when she walks down the
street.
D
octor Armstrong, a former doctor who likes time to
think. Whenever he thinks about the past one of the first things to pop into
his mind is the fact alcohol ruined his life. If only he hadn't had a couple of
drinks before operating on his patient, he might not have accidentally killed
him.
E
veryone was dead when the police got to the
Island. Nobody could figure out what happened. The police did not find any suicide notes and
searched the island a couple of times.
The police found no-one in hiding and were left open-mouthed and
clueless.
F
red Narracott was the boatman who took everyone to the
island on his boat. As he told the police, as far as he knew he was the only
one who had taken anyone over to the Island.
G
eneral Macarthur, loved war and was disappointed when
he had to stop fighting on the battle grounds.
War was his life. He loved the
smell, the sounds and the feel of battle.
In fact he craved to kill again.
H
elpless, the guests on the island were prey to the
killer, they couldn't get off the island because there was no boat. Hiding was out of the question due to the bad
storm, and they did not know who the killer was, so everyone was under
suspicion.
I
ndian Island was purchased under the name U.N. Owen
and nobody knew who it was. All the
tabloids were saying royalty had bought the island or some eccentric
millionaire, but nobody really knew who it was.
J
ustice Wargrave, was a judge. You could say he was a
murderer, even though he never killed anybody himself. He just sentenced people
to death. He was a mean and intimidating
judge which he used as an advantage over the others.
K
illed, everyone on the island was terrified of being
killed. They trusted nobody and suspected everybody. With the killer's identity
being unknown, only one person went to the bathroom or to walk around while the
rest waited together so there was no chance of being a victim.
L
ombard was an ex-soldier who liked firearms. He had
brought one to the island for his own protection he told everyone, but I
doubt anyone believed him. So they locked away the gun and any other weapons and no single person
was able to open the lock.
M
arston was the youngest guest who liked to do things
fast without thinking first. He liked speed and alcohol. He was very good at prejudging people and
liked to be at the centre of attention. He was favoured by women and he knew
it.
N
obody, not even the butler Mr. Rogers and his wife,
who had been hired to take care of things on the island, knew who U.N. Owen
was. Although he or she was expected to
show up soon after all the guests arrived on the island.
O
pen-mouthed the
detectives from Scotland Yard were, when they had no evidence only ten
corpses and their personal diaries. The detectives were unable to explain that
there was no murderer, but all the people definitely had been murdered.
P
erson or persons unknown on the island was using a
false pretense so nobody would suspect that person as the murderer which was
why it was difficult for the murderer to be discovered.
Q
ueasiness was felt by some of the passengers on the
boat ride to Indian Island, as the water was getting rough due to a squall
coming up. The boat bounced around from
wave to wave. Fred Narracott mentioned
just before they got to the island that if it gets any rougher nobody would be
able to reach the island by boat.
R
ich was the person who had bought the island. He would have to be, to be able to afford
something which was worth a lot. Tony
Marston thought at least with all that money they should be served good food
and thirst quenching drinks.
S
tranded on the island due to a terrible squall which
came up as soon as Fred Narracott got back to the mainland, everyone would have
to wait until the sea was calmer and the waves were smaller. Not worried about food or water, as there was
enough on the island, they were worried about being murdered.
T
en little Indian glass figurines were in the centre of
the table in the dining room. As each person was murdered one mysteriously
disappeared from the table, even though the room was locked each night before
everyone locked themselves in their rooms.
U
nderstanding the various reasons why they were asked
to come to Indian Island, each guest had received a letter, but each letter
only had a scribbled signature and no return address.
V
iolent were all the deaths, especially Tony Marston's
because he had a big chunk of concrete dropped on his head. Mr. Rogers' death was violent too, as he was
hit in the back of the head with an axe.
W
hy was this happening to them, everyone on the island
was wondering. Who could hold such a big
grudge against each one of these people to go to all this trouble to kill them.
X
-rays had to be used on three bodies by the coroner to
determine the exact cause of death. Also
poison tests were done on two bodies and gunshot tests on two more bodies.
Y
ounger than any of the other guests on the island, was
Tony Marston. Emily Brent was the oldest, with everyone else being around the
same age.
Z
oo, according to the poem "Ten Little
Indians", was were three little Indians went, a bear hugged one, and then
there were two.
