The next morning, Rogers, the butler, has disappeared. Everyone goes to sleep scared, some of them slowly being driven mad by their guilt. The Judge leads everyone to suspect each other, making sure that everyone understands that no one can be trusted. Since there is no one else on the Island, that means that the killer can only be one of them. For a moment, they believe that the deaths are just a horrible coincidence - until someone turns up with their head smashed in. After an exhaustive search, they discover that there are definitely only eight people on the Island. As everyone begins to suspect one another, three of the men decide to search the Island to make sure that no one else is hiding on it. They notice, as well, that every time someone dies one of the ten ceramic figurines disappear. The boat that is supposed to bring supplies is very late, and soon they realize that no one is coming to take them off the Island.
In the morning, they discover that the cook has died in the night as well, although it may have been natural causes. Just as the poem predicted.Įveryone goes to bed uneasy, some feeling guilty about the crimes they've committed, others just worried about their safety. No one is sure what to make of the recording, until Marston takes a drink - and dies of Cyanide poisoning. After their first dinner, once they're all in the drawing-room, a voice reads out a list of accusations against them - each one of them is accused of murdering at least one person, and they have been brought to the Island to pay for their crimes.
At dinner, they notice ten Indian figurines on the table, matching the poem. A conversation between two of the guests leads them to realize that none of them know their host - the mysterious U. In each of their rooms is a poem entitled 'Ten Little Indians' which tells the story of ten Indian boys who die in unusual fashions. Once they arrive at the Island they meet the last two 'guests', the husband and wife butler-cook team. The rest have been hired by a mysterious employer. Some of them believes that they've been invited by an old friend - one that they can't contact to confirm the invitation. Eight strangers are lured to the mysterious Indian Island.
