You may be talking about the detective novel "And Then There Were None" (also known as Ten Little Indians and originally as Ten Little *******)" a detective novel by Agatha Christie first published in 1939.
The epilogue to the novel consists of a conversation between two police detectives concerning the unsolved mystery. They have concluded from the physical evidence and various characters' diaries and journal entries that Blore, Armstrong, Lombard and Claythorne were definitely the last to die, thus one of them must have been the killer.
The postscript consists of a letter which solves the mystery. The late Judge Lawrence Wargrave wrote the letter to explain that he had planned the killings to punish those who had committed murder, whether accidentally or not, but who had managed to escape the legal consequences.
The conclusion of the judge's letter indicates that he planned to shoot himself while sitting on his bed, so that his body would fall onto the bed as if it had been laid there. He fastened the gun to the doorknob with a piece of elastic cord in such a way that the recoil would snap the gun out into the hallway as the door to his room closed. Thus the police found ten dead bodies and an unsolvable mystery on Indian Island.

I think you might be talking about Agatha Christie's "Ten Little *******".
Here's the ending, minus the name of the person who signs the end of the letter...
"When the sea goes down, there will come from the mainland boats and men.
And they will find ten dead bodies and an unsolved problem on ****** Island.
Signed:....

I think it might be Ten Little indians by Agatha Christie. However, that was one of the few books by her I did not read. I only heard about it. I could be wrong.

yet another hide she did, Son Of A Preacher guy. i did not understand she did any usa. i imagine i'd locate it confusing procuring her as a usa artist, yet she might want to in all likelihood belt out some Patsy Cline now that i imagine about it.
