Just like with Murder on the Orient Express, I tried SO hard to figure it out - took notes, reread practically the whole book. And it turned out my main theory was RIGHT and it was SO deeply satisfying!!!

5.0

I enjoy classic mysteries like this. Interesting characters, crimes upon crimes, a resolution that's hard to see coming, and a less melodramatic reveal than sometimes comes with Poirot stories (which I prefer). The characters aren't particularly deep and Christie leans harder on stereotypes than modern readers enjoy, but the plot is worth a read.

Racism and sexism typical of this era in Western culture (early 20th century).

One of Christie’s best mysteries, however in this Egyptian setting Christie’s anti-blackness comes out pretty strongly alongside the usual cocktail of classism and glorification of empire.

3.5

The new film adaptation is as good as any to read this book and I really like the setting of the story. The crime was a little predictable, overall, save for some unexpected events following the murder. I have to admit it’s satisfying to have my suspicions confirmed by Hercule Poirot, but some bits were a bit weird to me (I guess real life people are perfectly capable of being rather odd or saying strange things, but still). ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5 out of 5 stars) for me.
