Probably my favourite Poirot, tbh. Even though I've read it so many times I know exactly whodunnit, the character nuances are still hugely enjoyable.

I don't know about anyone else, but I never figure out an Agatha Christie mystery before the big reveal. Being honest, I breeze through the first 3/4 of the book just for that sweet, sweet payoff. So the real question is, does this mystery, and all the red herrings surrounding it, make for a good whodunit? The short answer is definitely "yes," and the longer answer is "yes, but wow is it highly improbable to be aboard a ship with so many secrets and so much intrigue." Also, the entire first chapter of preamble could have easily been cut out to get to Poirot and the trip on the Nile sooner.

Agatha Christie ha conseguido que vuelva a la lectura después de años sufriendo un bloqueo lector. Echaba de menos sentirme tan apegada a un libro que no sea capaz de soltarlo hasta adentrarme lo máximo posible en la historia... y esta novela tiene tantos detalles, cada personaje se siente real y humano y el final me ha dejado sin palabras .. la mente de esta escritora es increíble. Y estoy muy feliz de haber retomado la lectura con él
