I enjoyed this book! I did guess the murderer early in the book but I couldn't have predicted the twist. A short and enjoyed read although a tad slow in places.

Whoever invented Saw read this and was like I can make it worse
There's a character who's racist as fuck and would k!ll a child if it came down to it, but they'd draw the line at throwing out a woman bc she got pregnant unwed which is kind of a wild way to have morals

A fun and very quick whodunnit. No character acted dumb given the circumstances, and it did not overstay its welcome. I didn't solve it! 8/10.

Wow. This was quite something! I couldn't help myself but read the second half in one sitting. 

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.

One after another they all die.

Here are some of the guesses/suspicions I had while reading. None of them were correct.

When Mr Rogers was seen outside and very shortly afterwards was seen in the attic, I thought he might have a twin or doppelganger. 
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.

I had to read this book in high school and remembered enjoying it, but after learning about the book's racist past, I'm giving it a low rating.
