Dr. George Edward Armstrong: Dr. Armstrong comes to the island to check on Mr. Owen's wife who is supposedly ailing. He is a gullible man, who doesnt fully know who he is. These traits made him a suspect in the murders of the guests on the island. He was one of the last to die on the island. What was the mystery at the heart of the story?
The mystery was trying to find the killer. Only one person on the island (the killer) knew who was killing the visitors on the island. Everyone on the island was blaming another person. Nobody really trusted anyone. At the end of the book you find out that the killer is Lawrence Wargrave.
What were some of the clues that helped solve the mystery? There were a lot of clues in the book that you wouldn't notice until the end of the book. Some of these are when William Blore says there might be finger prints on the letter in chapter 3, and nobody but Lawrence Wargrave is alarmed. Also, at the beginning of the book Lawrence Wargrave is the only person to receive a letter not signed with “U.N.O.,” or any other form of “U.N.O.” Lastly, when most of the victims on the island agree to search for Lombard's missing revolver, Wargrave protests, but they search anyway. Why would he protest if he wasn't hiding
