I loved this book! Poirot is my favorite character of Agatha Christie's, and he was great in this story. Christie is a master of mystery, and I was blown away by her ability to construct such an interesting and intricate story. I loved the way she wrapped up the mystery, I never would have guessed! I highly recommend the read.

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!!!

It has been my goal to read the Hercule Poirot Mysteries in order (and so far I have with 1-11!), but with the release of the new Kenneth Branagh movie, my fiancé told me I had to read it before spoiling it with watching. She’s right of course (and always is). And I’m certainly glad I read it first. 

So as of right now I’ve read books 1-11, Hercule Poirot’s Christmas, Hallowe’en Party, and probably 1-2 dozen short stories, and Death on the Nile is definitely far above the others in terms of complexity. There is quite literally over half a dozen crimes committed in this one! I do not have a logical or meticulous mind, so to me it still feels like maybe she’s just pulling facts and clues out of a hat, but damn do I enjoy reading it. Of course all of these mysteries involve crime, so you’re reading a lot of murder, thievery, debauchery, but wow this one in particular was very very dark. 

Why does it seem like Hercule can never take a dang vacation? His little grey cells are just too powerful.
