//And Then There Were None// is a thrilling mystery filled with death and perplexity. The author, Agatha Christie, uses a multitude of cliffhangers and surprise to relay this whodunit mystery. Within this story, many different people were all tricked into traveling to Indian Island, an island off the coast of England. Majority of the people brought onto the island, were invited by a person signed U.N. Owens. Later in the book, it is discovered that these initials and last name stand for unknown. Everybody immediately begins to think about who this unknown person who seems to be planning each of their murders really is. After further examining the story, I believe U.N. Owens is Dr. Armstrong.

The first time I began thinking that Dr. Armstrong was this crazy man, was after reading page 69. This page describes Dr. Armstrong trying to find out how exactly Anthony Marston died. He is the only one really examining how exactly this young man died. He deems it as a suicide after the narrative stated, "He removed the stopper from the whiskey and smelt and tasted it." Dr. Armstrong is the only person on the island who really looked into how Anthony died. He stated that it was a suicide but he could have easily been lying, and he could have killed Anthony himself.

Dr. Armstrong was introduced in the story at the beginning. He arrived on the island and seemed like one of the most normal people on the island. Dr. Armstrong first arrived on the islands on page 32. He drove to the island instead of riding on the boat with the rest of the guests. Mr. Owens must have done much research on all of the guests. The letters contained personal information about each guest and the phonograph message showed the guests deepest secrets.The message on the phonograph is relayed on page 42 of the book. This shows that no matter who Mr. Owens really is, it is someone who definitely knew plenty about the guests.

I believe the lattermost goal of Mr. Owen is to get the ultimate revenge on the guests who have each been accused of murdering people. On page 43 of //And Then There Were None,// the phonograph states, "People at the bar, have you anything to say in your defense?" All the accusations of each of the murderers were stated. I think Mr. Owens will follow in suit with the //Ten Little Indians// poem and kill each guest the way that the Indians die in the story.
