Why It’s in “Locked In”
Isolation turns suspicion inward
And Then There Were None places its characters in circumstances from which escape becomes increasingly uncertain. With the group cut off from ordinary help, every accusation and disappearance tightens the circle of suspicion.
Its place in Locked In comes from the pressure created by isolation: the mystery is not only who is responsible, but what happens when everyone present has a reason to distrust everyone else.
