Reviews with content warning for Death - Death on the Nile

"See you, I recognize my own weaknesses. It has been said of me that I like to make a case difficult. This solution that you put to me - it is too simple, too easy. I cannot feel that it really happened. And yet, that may be the sheer prejudice on my part."
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!"

Another excellent outing by Hercule Poirot! It's good to return to the source material when Hollywood have produced such a travesty masquerading as an adaptation. The same period-typical racist stereotypes as can be seen in nearly all Agatha Christie books do appear, exacerbated by the fact that the story is set in Egypt, but most of the focus remains on the clever and intricately plotted murder mystery.

My next Spooktober read to finished by now. Tidak se-plot twist buku-buku oma Agatha Christie lainnya. Malah terkesan cliche and I don't like Linnet Ridgeway character either. Tipe-tipe orang kaya yang bisa aja berkhianat ke siapapun; termasuk sahabat sendiri.

This book once again had me on edge the whole time. It was intense and incredibly thought out. Agatha Christie has done it once again with the gripping story line of murders on the Nile. This is one of my favourite books she has written as it captivates you from the beginning and pulling you in further. It’s soo fun trying to figure out who the murderer is even if I got it wrong 😂. Overall this book was very well thought through and is a quick read.
