What If...? (Authors)

If JOHN DICKSON CARR wrote ATTWN, I feel that the killer would have been...
Isaac Morris. He is the only one not to have been on the island and he of course, booby trapped the whole thing, or somehow via a series of complex alibis and clues, obvious only to Carr would have been able to violate the assertion that there was nobody on the island but the ten.

If Sir ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE wrote ATTWN, I feel that the killer would have been Philip Lombard. He fits the "unlikeable nephew" bill, that I think Doyle often had as culprit.

If ELLERY QUEEN wrote ATTWN, I feel that the killer would have been Dr Armstrong and the revelation would have been followed by a thousand-word explanation of how this could have been the only logical choice. Armstrong is both the obvious and the complicated solution that Queen liked.

If RAYMOND CHANDLER wrote ATTWN, do I need to even say that the killer would have been Emily Brent? And Lombard would have been the hero, shooting her face off in the final confrontation and saving Vera.

If G.K. CHESTERTON wrote ATTWN, I feel that the killer would have been...Judge Wargrave. He is the kind of full-of-himself self-righteous moralizing ass whose inner immorality Father Brown loved to expose. And he would have died? trying to kill Vera, because he slipped.

If REX STOUT wrote ATTWN
a) every single death would be from a gunshot wound
b) there would be no poem or gramophone record
c) the island would be located off the coast of Montenegro
d) the killer would have been *throws a ten-sided die* Oh, look at that, William Blore. A character, who makes as much sense as any other, a character, who seems random based on evidence and a character, who I like.
