: Iris’s younger sister, who has inherited Iris's fortune.

Russell invites the original guests to a dinner at a London restaurant called : Anthony Chapell : A young man who was in love with Iris. Stephen Carter : A diplomat with a hidden past.

: An entertainer who performed on the night of the original murder.

Russell had killed his wife two years earlier for her money, and he planned to kill Pauline for the same reason—to secure the remainder of the inheritance. The entire "re-enactment" was a ruse by Russell to frame one of the other guests and finally rid himself of the sister-in-law who stood between him and the full fortune.
