All About the Book

Just off the coast of the city Devon, eight strangers, Justice Wargrave, Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, General Macarthur, Emily Brent, Anthony Marston, Doctor Armstrong and William Bore, had all been invited to a mansion on Soldier Island. All of them have been invited for different reasons, such as an old friend invited them or a job at the mansion, but some of them have been hired to observe the vacation by an unknown person. When they arrive at the house, they find out that their host, Mr. and Mrs. UN Owens, are not going to be present and they left Mr. and Mrs. Rogers to serve the guests. As they find their rooms and settle in, they all notice a poem that is hung up in their rooms called “Ten Little Soldiers”, which describes how there were ten boys at first, but one by one they are all die until there are none left. That night at dinner they notice ten little soldier boy figurines on the centre of the dining room table. Also, during their meal, they hear a voice, which a gramophone record, accusing each of the ten people in the house of murder. Because of the weird coincidences of their vacation so far, the guest start to realize they have been set up to come to the island, but realize there is no way out. One by one, the guest then start to die, just like the way the little soldier boys do in the poem, but these are not just coincidences, these are murders. As each new person dies, the rest of the group tries to solve the mystery; “Who is killing everyone and how?”
