There's period-typical sexism and racism, plus a surprising level of antisemitism, which is much more present in this novel than in other works of the author's I've read. Note that the original title of this story had its origins in a rhyme with offensive (and evolving) title: Ten Little N*****s became Ten Little Indians before the modern title was fixed. If you're suggesting a younger person read this it might be worth reviewing together those origins, and why American and British publishers updated the title on different timelines.
Moderate: Racism and Antisemitism
Minor: Gun violence, Sexism, Violence, and Injury/Injury detail

Ten people are invited to "Soldier Island" under different pretences. It turns out that each one caused the death of someone in a way that was untouchable by law.
Here are some of the guesses/suspicions I had while reading. None of them were correct.
The way Ms Brent wrote in her diary and also went outside on her own... Very suspicious!
When the last five sat in the drawing room and we could read each ones thoughts I thought the last one was Blore and therfore suspected him.
