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.

The beginning was slightly slow since we are first introduced to the characters, but it quickly becomes apparent that there is a killer in their midsts. I will admit that I (accidentally) spoiled myself and I did not see that twist coming. However, it was a brilliant way to explain how to find the identity of the killer.
The epilogue of the novel was especially gripping and it was such a romantic way to explain the murders on Indian Island.
