"And Then There Were None" summary

http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n0/n259.jpgHello, person who happens to be reading this blog. I hope you like stories about mystery, suspense, and murder (dun dun DUN!!!!!). Because that is what I'm going to talk about.
I am very close to the end of Agatha Christie's acclaimed mystery novel "And Then There Were None". This is probably the smartest written book...ever!
It is about ten complete strangers, named Edward Armstrong, Emily Brent, William Blore, Vera Claythorne, Philip Lombard, John Macarthur, Anthony Marston, Thomas and Ethel Rogers, and Lawrence Wargrave, who are invited to an infamous island called Indian Island by a mysterious Mr. U. N. Owen. Mr. Owen is not on the island when they arrive, nor does he ever appear. You see, there is know Mr. Owen at all.
All of the strangers are accused of several wicked acts, all of them murderers. One by one, these people reveal the secrets of their dark pasts. And one by one, they die.
This book was also published as "Ten Little Indians". While this might seem a strange title, it actually goes along with the story. There is a poem about ten little Indian boys, who all die at the end of the poem. Each person who falls prey to the insanity of the scheme dies according to the poem. There are also ten little china figures that look like Indians. After one of the strangers dies, a china figure disappears.
The mystery of this captivating novel is who is committing the murders? As far as I know, it was none of the people on the island. Or was it? Who is the mysterious Mr. U. N. Owen (or Mr. Unknown, as the ten people call him?), and will anyone survive? Read mystery's #1 bestseller "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie to find out.
