And Then There Were None Week2

Hello, how are you? The summer vacation was over and the new semester started last week. Did you enjoy your summer vacation? I went back my hometown, traveled from place to place and did a lot of things that I wanted to do, so I enjoyed my vacation very much.
 
I read “The ABC Murders” by Agatha Christie last semester, and I decided to read “And Then There Were None” by same author this semester. I like reading mystery novels, especially Agatha Christie’s. She is known throughout the world as the queen of crime.
 
I’ve read first one chapter this week. I’d like to introduce ten characters.
Mr. Justice Wargrave ….a former justice
Vera Claythorne ………..a physical education teacher
Philip Lombard...............a military captain
Miss. Emily Brent………an old woman
General Macarthur……..a retired general
Dr. Armstrong……………a doctor
Tony Marston…………….a young man
Mr. Blore………………….a former police inspector
Mr. and Mrs. Rogers……a servant and his wife

They were invited to Soldier Island by a stranger, Una Nancy Owen. Definitely, Soldier Island was news. Soldier Island was purchased by an American millionaire, who was crazy about yachting, and he built the luxurious modern house on the little island off the Devon coast. However, he offered the house and the island for sale because of his new third wife. Various glowing advertisements of it had appeared in the papers. Then came the first bald statement that it had been bought by Mr. Owen. After that the rumours of the gossip writers had started. Soldier Island had really been bought by the Hollywood film star or others.
