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: Injury/Injury detail, Violence, Gun violence, and Sexism
