OK! So in chapter 7 they are going more into depth Emily Brent.... she is judgemental and fowl played in not knowing what she talking about even with her crucial, cynical "bible morals". It introduces supposed murder in which Brent was accused involving Beatrice Taylor in how she got pregnant and was abandoned by Brent with the immoral misconduct causing the young girl to kill herself. Emily Brent should be the next to die with the way she presented her thought in this matter, driving a girl to suicide . . . it is surprising that she does not go to hell even with the bible on her side, oh Emily, God is watching and you have been bad even for an old hag even in near death. Though slowly the characters also come to see that the past two deaths were not suicides, but in fact murders and start investigating and searching for this mysterious killer. No one really seemed brutal enough to be suspicious in this chapter though they did give more background knowledge on the characters, but we are yet to have more information on Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Rogers and their supposed attempt in the death of Jennifer Grady, they are still both on my list of killers. Maybe Mr. Rogers wanted all the money for himself and killing his wife would give him more than desired . . . a planned out state of gain. Yes!
In chapter 8 the investigation continues with the recent murders of Anthony Marston and Mrs. Rogers in how they could have been murdered or in what time frame it could have been done. So three men of the group Blore, Dr. Armstrong, and Lombard tour the island in search for where the killer might be . . . for all we know the killer is amongst the group of guests staying on the island for all they know. They all check the cliff to see if it was even possible for someone to climb up and down for a quick escape off the island. Then there is a brief interlude between the General and Vera Claythorne where they talk and get to know each other . . . the General talks about his past relations with his wife Leslie and recalls the suicide mission of Richmond and how they everyone in that triangle ended up alone, but Vera does not understand as he utters in a whisper his wife's name, true love. As the men resume they come back to the house noticing that someone is inside Mrs. Rogers room attempting to catch the killer they find Rogers . . . a fail. I still suspect Roger because among all the characters his just seems farther away than everyone else. He is briefly brought up for god sake and then he happens to be in his deceased wife's bedroom to simply "pay his respects" or is he going to some how get rid of the body? Suspicious . . .

I agree that Rogers is kind of aloof and the "butler did it" is kind of a trope, but how would a butler be able to afford buying an island and what could his motive be?
ReplyDeleteWell personally I think that maybe there is an acomplice such as Dr. Armstrong or Vera Claythorne. It would have to be someone who is most known or least likely to be known. Rogers was probably intended to kill his own wife while being confronted by the killer who could at any rate be any of the character having like that one on one confrontation. Though I thought that Rogers was suspicious because if you notice right off the back he is the only one who notices the indian figures are missing.
ReplyDeleteDamn . . . nevermind, total backfire with the recent death of Mr. Rogers. Though Vera still may be a part of this whole mysterious scandal, but there is no way she would pull it off herself . . . what if Wargrave is actually involved because he may have money and he is investigating all of the characters more than Blore could ever accomplish. ( O.o )
