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 justiceVera 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.
