My least favorite of the Poirot books I've read so far, I still greatly enjoyed it. The cast of characters is the best part - I think I just don't care for the rich-people-touring-Egypt setting.

La primera novela que leo de la autora, y de momento, un muy buen comienzo. (En realidad, también es mi primera novela negra). Me ha sorprendido la agilidad de la lectura, con diálogos entretenidos y que no se me han hecho pesados en ningún momento. Me gusta ver cómo Agatha hace y deshace a su antojo, nos muestra a los sospechosos y cómo vamos descubriendo cada uno de sus móviles a la par que el detective. Eso sí, no recomendaría empezar por esta porque si bien puedes leer los libros de la saga de Hércules Poirot en el orden que quieras, han habido ciertas referencias a personajes e historias anteriores (como por ejemplo del Orient Express) que me hubiese gustado pillar. De todas formas, no es nada importante y no creo que haya influenciado en gran medida a mi lectura.

PD. Me parece que tiene el final que tendría que tener, y cualquier otro me hubiese decepcionado. Aún así, estoy picada por no haberlo adivinado.
