The general atmosphere was dark because there was a lot of trees and the ocean was nice but cold. They didn't exactly say where it was located, but I'm pretty sure it was in the Indian Ocean because they said it was called "Indian Island"!

A red herring swallowed one then there were three.

led, according to the first verse of a poem that is framed above each of their beds called "Ten Little Indians", they figure out that the murderer is one of them! As more people are killed off, one by one, the group narrows the suspect list down, until only one is left alive but she figured that she would never get off the island anyway, and she hung herself from the ceiling by putting a noose around her neck and kicking the chair away on which she was standing, but she was not the
