Can someone that has really read this book tell me how everyone died, and the killer/who is Owens? Lastly, did every death basically follow the poem?

Thanks..

yes everyone pretty much dies according to the poem, the killer is the judge, james marton dies from cyanide poisoning, ethel roges dies from chloral hydrate overdose, the general gets his head crushed, thomas rogers gets hit in the head with the axe, dr. armstrong gets pushed into the ocean, william henry blore gets his head crushed by a bear clock from a window, philip lombard is shot by vera, vera hangs herself, then the judge shoots himself in the head

Thanks, didn't i hear somewhere that the judge faked hung himself? Also, the judge is Armstrong right?

the judge's name is wargrave and he fake shot himself with the help of dr. armstrong

Oh ok. Do you know what armstrong/wargrave's motivation for it was? Thanks again.

wargrave thinks that all of the others are guilty of crimes so he thinks its his job to carry out justice so he kills them

ohhhh wow...and who is the Owens person that sends the letters, etc. Or is that wargrave?
Lastly, who sent the Rogers instructions to put on that record, etc.?

 

[oblivion9032]

yes owens is wargrave and i think that owens (wargrave) was the one who told rogers to do that
