In the final chapter of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None we discover that the only remaining are Phillip Lombard, Willam Blore and Vera Claythorne. Wargrave and Dr. Armstrong have just supposedly died and the remaing are on twists and turns with false accusations. Who will die next??? The simple answer is Blore who had his head crushed with a marble bear of some sort so then the disbelief to Vera that Lombared isn't the killer resumes to him being that way. They both assume that Dr. Armstrong is alive when he is later found washed up on shore from the ocean. With Vera's final conclusions she thinks that the murderer is Lombard so in an instant she takes the revolver (gun) and shoots him directly through the heart. She finds a pleasure and relief with the fact that she is in total solitude and with the psychological aspect taking over in her final hours she thinks that the line to the last of the nursery rhyme involves the tenth Indian boy running off and getting married thinking that Hugo is awaiting her with a proposal, but she then recalls that the little Indian boy hangs himself as the end of the rhyme finding a noose set up in her bedroom. She is tired and has just this constant remorse with murders she committed as expected and what I predicted she hangs herself letting go of everything, but what no one knew is that Justice Wargrave was alive during the time when he faked his death . . . HOLY! In the final events of this novel it is found out that ten people were found dead on Indian Island. Though no one can determine who the killer is at any rate so it remains a mystery with the fact that U.N. Owen was actually one of the victims, but also the killer.
In a final turn out it has Wargrave writing a letter explaining how he was U.N. Owen in which he describes just this big trial of being guilty or not guilty and choosing his suspects wisely investigating each prior background. It shows how he encountered Hugo Hamilton who once supposedly loved Vera, but realized how crazy she actually was after killing Cyril all for him never once thinking that Hugo might love Cyril. Though always in his life he has this instinctive motive that he had this urge to kill at one point in his life, but wanted too make it an unpredictable crime that no one would figure out only ever knowing 3 things about this mystery which were:
1) That Edward Seton was definitely guilty
2) The seventh verse of the nursery rhyme involving how Armstrong was pushed and swallowed by the ocean waters and deceived by Wargrave
3) And the brand of Cain which basically symbolized Wargrave as a person in which to suspect
And describes after stating all of the clues in which he left how he is going to kill himself and make it appear as if all of them were murder as if nothing had happened that involved him . . . a perfect, scandalous perception before death of what it is like to commit murders and be the killer. . . AMAZING END!!! (I was right about suspecting Wargrave, but never believed that he would fake his death in order to proceed with the murders and also having Armstrong as an ally all along)
