    Quote #1 In the murder mystery, Mr.Justice Wargrave is guilty of killing not one, but nine people and himself. The author does such an excellent job in keeping the reader wondering who the killer is until the end of the book.

And this is the clue; “Given the scheme in question which is neither more nor less than the execution of justice upon certain individuals for offenses which the law cannot touch, there is only one way in which that scheme could be accomplished. Mr. Owen could only come to the island in one way.…

    Steinbeck’s work is most often compared to the biblical Garden of Eden, yet his novels and the scriptural story show distinct resemblance to the ancient Greek myth, Pandora’s Box.
