Woof, I forgot how racist, classist,, and misogynistic Agatha Christie's writing is. I understand part of it being the time it was written in but I won't be reading any of her other works again.

"They conceive a certain theory, and everything has to fit into the theory. If one little fact will not fit it, they throw it aside." - Poirot (cough flat earthers cough)
This was the perfect cozy mystery! I love Hercule Poirot and I totally admire and respect him. I swear he knew who it was since the beginning like he had this all figured out and was just stretching it out to keep the suspense. I had my suspicions on everyone at some point in the book. Half of my suspicion was right but I didn't think it was true since that seemed too easy. But this was an addicting book that I devoured, like I've never wanted to stay up all night just to finish a book. The movie for this is going to be chaotic and I'm here for it.

Death on the Nile is an Agatha Christie classic.
I much more prefere the Miss Marpel novels, however. Hercule Poirot is intendet to come across as arrogant, but in some cases it's simply annoying.
Contrary to other Agatha Christie books I almost immediatly knew, who the murderer was. although, I so very much hoped that Jackie would somehow be innocent I liked that all charaters had their faults and you really could not agree with any of them. As a reader you never really knew who's side to be on.
Also this story had to many characters and some of them didn't feel necessary to the plot at all.
Worst of all is the constant racism expressed by some of the characters, which really ruins some chapters and the reading experience. Hopefully newer editions edit it out, as it is in no way important the the storyline and only ruins the book.
I was looking forward to seeing the new movie, until I saw that Armie Hammer was going to be in it, so now I'll watch the older film version, which also looks amazing.

This book felt like it had a really slow start but once it picked up it PICKED UP! I really had no idea who the murderer was until the very end but it wasn’t the kind of murder mystery where the concept is so far fetched it’s impossible to guess it was the perfect amount of plot twist that doesn’t make you angry. I think my least favorite part was the beginning and how slow it started, if I didn’t know it was a murder mystery I would have DNFed it but knowing that a murder had to be on it’s was kept me going.
