About Vera
Vera Elizabeth Claythorne is a young school teacher, somewhere in her 20's. She teaches at a bad school which calls for poor pay. She decides she needs a summer job and gets set up at a vacation home on Indian Island just for the summer. Vera seems like a very innocent soul, but the real truth is very disturbing. She was a caretaker for a young boy named Ceril Hamilton. She committed a perfect murder by just not watching him carefully enough, pretending to that is. Why? Hugo. Ceril's uncle. She knew that if Ceril was out of the question, Hugo would for sure inherit money and that was the only way they could love eachother and be with eachother, but after Hugo accuses Vera of the murder of his nephew, he forgets her completely and Vera buys herself a ticket to Indian Island without getting in trouble with the law.
