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.

It's been awhile since I read an Agatha Christie and I forgot how fun they can be; you're constantly trying to solve the puzzle and Christie outwits you at every turn. The Nile setting is pretty irrelevant to this one; mainly the important thing is that it's on a cruise ship with a limited cast of characters and no way in or out, but it could really be anywhere. Of course the more Poirot looks into it, the more he finds that nearly everyone on board had some kind of connection with the victim!

Racism warning: Early in the book there is more of a stab at local color and it's extremely racist. The book centers on a group of rich white European and American characters on a cruise, and the only Black Egyptians that they encounter are merchants and children trying to sell them things, and the book mocks their appearance and their broken English. (In other words, I'm adding a content warning for racism, rather than suggestion the book is about racism, which it definitely is not. The racism is 100% unconsidered and unapologetic.)
