And Then There Were None--reading for the first time along with my students

So I’ve decided to knock out And Then There Were None with my Juniors in the last couple weeks of the year. Although I know the premise, I haven’t read it myself, so I’ve decided to read it along with my classes. My students like coming up with word/logic puzzles for me to solve, and I thought it would be fun to have us all compete with each other to see who can predict the deaths and figure out the killer first.

Here’s my problem: Obviously I don’t want to know who dies in what order, but I do want to know when those deaths happen so I can lesson plan around each reveal. So—does anyone happen to know the chapters where characters die? Or could anyone direct me to a source that gives the death chapters without revealing the characters?

This is a weird ask, I know, but I really want to enjoy the reveals while also planning for each day. Thank you in advance!

EtA: I'm still teaching them about the genre, Agatha Christie as an author, the golden age of detective fiction, and deductive/inductive reasoning. I also have supplementary materials to help students keep track of the characters and plot. So no, I'm not going into the unit with no goals or sense of direction. Literally the only part I don't want to know is who dies when.
