My theory held up! Det visade sig vara den lösningen jag gissade i början, innan de ens klivit på båten
Again, a nice interlude from other things I read. True "who 'dun it" tales. Certainly lots of characters to keep track of. Note taking is probably the way to go.
I will have to try Dame Christie's Miss Marple at some point.

I was really invested! Great characters, plot-twists, tension and motives. Some worldviews are a little outdated but the book is old…

Desde el principio supe quien era el asesino, no fue el mejor caso de Hércules poirot.
I recently re-read this Agatha Christie book for a reading challenge. I had last read it while I was still in college.
Death on the Nile is a typical Agatha Christie Mystery in the sense that her best works are the ones where the cast and characters are kind of stranded or confined in a limited space. ‘And Then There Were None’ and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ were two of her other such works that has been widely appreciated. In this case, the murder happens on a cruise boat on the river Nile and the victim is Linnet Ridgeway, a girl who had it all – money, style and a handsome new husband. So, why was she shot in the head while on her honeymoon? Well luckily, Hercule Poirot happened to be on the cruise too and who better to look into the matter?
The mystery wasn’t a big deal in this book. I am sure that many mystery aficionados will be able to guess the murderer correctly before the grand reveal. As is usually the case with Hercule Poirot mysteries, the fun and entertainment lies in watching Poirot put his ‘grey cells’ to work. Trying to think like the detective while reading the book is half the fun and the other half lies in tallying up at the end of the book. Each dialogue and interaction is important and it is impossible not to pay attention to it all completely.

Hercule Poirot has done it again or should I say... Agatha Christie. The devil is truly in the details.
