A review by cocoonofbooks
Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie

5.0

This one held up on rereading for me, even though it's one of the few where I remembered the solution partway through. This was one of my first Agatha Christie books (if not the first) so it holds a special place in my heart regardless, but I was glad to find it was just as enjoyable and twisty as I remembered. It has all the best parts of a Poirot mystery — the psychology, the unexpected twists, the side romances — and no Hastings! Unfortunately Christie's prejudices also rear their head here after being mercifully absent for a while, so we get to read about the simple Nubians and the sketchy, swarthy, hot-blooded Latins. Just be aware going in that you're going to get a strong taste of the times.
