Codename: "Spy VN" - IN DEVELOPMENT

The story goes along the lines of there are a group of spies trapped inside a isolated area and one by one, they are murdered. It is basically a very liberal adaptation of Agatha Christie's "And then there was none."

Well thats the very vague general premise, there is more detail - I want to flesh out the story before I can confiently give out more information...(sorry)

I have the vague story line based out, but I am wondering upon its implementation. Should I change the POV and hop around from character to character, or should I stick to one person - hmmmmm? The question whether it is linear or not also arises, could this actual be pulled of with the choice leading to the collection of clues, or will it have to be kept as a kinetic novel (don't really like the latter, but the former might be problematic in its implementation)?

We have a brief list of the characters here - these have been expanded on, but I am too lazy to type it up...
(and if there are any equally bored readers (or any readers at all), would you mind telling me in which order you want to see them die in... macabre question indeed!)
A - A loyal soldier, who is quick to be angered. 
B - A fat, intelligent man with no sense of morals.
C - A trusting female doctor with a flair for the dramatic.
D - A cunning and pragmatic man of action with a nasty character.
E - A Lutheran Protestant priest with a solid belief system.
F - A simple woman in love with A.
G - A strong leader who values his subordinates highly and believes in sacrificing 1 to save 100.


Also I really should be doing some work on my course rather than wasting it here...
