And Then There Were None again - this is how I think of readersā and charactersā suspicions (from after the Generalās death)
- suspect Rogers = classist, he has no real motive or opportunity
- suspect Brent or Claythorne = thinking about motive and twists, not getting how their minds work, amateur detective
- suspect Armstrong = smart if you donāt know itās a murder mystery, if you know itās a murder mystery you should know itās too obvious
- suspect a dead person = understand twists but not satisfying endings
- suspect someone not in the 10 = not getting how mysteries work
- suspect Lombard = smart choice, works super well with structure of mystery
- suspect Wargrave = same with more nuance as clear psychology and motive
- suspect Blore = I donāt know, I donāt know why anyone would suspect him, itās clearly not him - I guess for shock twist value, if you donāt know how Christie works
