3.5 Stars Agatha Christie's *Death on the Nile* is a classic for a reason. It's a perfectly constructed mystery, full of red herrings and suspicious characters, all set against the exotic backdrop of a Nile cruise. You know you're in for a treat from the very first page. Hercule Poirot, of course, is at his brilliant best. His meticulous attention to detail and his almost unsettling ability to read people make him the perfect detective to unravel this complex web of secrets and lies. The plot ...

3.5⭐This book starts a little slow with the character introductions, but once everyone boards the SS. Karnak, the story really took off for me. *Death on the Nile* features heiress Linnet Ridgeway, her longtime friend Jacqueline de Bellefort, and fiancé Simon Doyle. Hercule Poirot is on vacation and taking the Nile cruise, along with many other secondary characters. I thought the mystery was well done, and I enjoy following Poirot's thought process, but I felt the reveal was a bit underwhelming....

One of Christie's best.And definitely one of my personal favorites. I just adore Poirot in this one. He's got such a soft spot for a woman in trouble, and of course, he's always a sucker for young love.In Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie, he manages to put his excellent matchmaking skills to such good use that you get not one but two weddings...and a funeral. Well. Actually more than one funeral, but I don't want to spoil too much for those of you who haven't read this book yet. It opens wit...

Throwback Saturday again, and I'm revisiting Agatha Christie's *Death on the Nile* – a book I devoured two decades ago as an homage to my younger, clueless self. The great thing is, it feels like reading it for the first time! I've forgotten so many details, characters, and even crucial plot points. I remember watching the 1978 film adaptation with Peter Ustinov (a brilliant actor, though I still prefer Albert Finney's Poirot), Betty Davis, Angela Lansbury, and Mia Farrow. The casting was super...

4.5 stars"I like an audience, I must confess. I am vain, you see. I am puffed up with conceit. I like to say: ‘See how clever is Hercule Poirot!’"Well, this confession from the renowned detective may very well be true, but I admit it is one of the reasons I love him so! He also has integrity and class… and a really swell mustache! Reading Agatha Christie’s Poirot stories never fails to entertain and to comfort. Here where I live, we are bracing for a winter storm with heaps of snow and frigid te...
