aside from that, this was a less enjoyable Christie because I was able to guess the plot in the first 30ish pages. however, i really enjoyed the last 20 pages where we get the interactions between Poirot and Jacqueline after the murderer is revealed.

I had a lot of fun reading this book. I also really enjoyed the mystery aspect of it. I watched the 1978 movie before reading the book, and while I enjoyed both, I wasn't expecting the movie to be so close to the book. (I only accept the 1978 movie, especially since I refuse to watch the 2020 version.) There were a lot of moments while reading where I was like "I remember that!"

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.
