This was my fourth Agatha Christie book and third Hercule Poirot. I really enjoyed this classic murder mystery! This book has been on my list for a long time, as I’ve slowly been making my way through Christie’s Poirot series! I also read this for one of the June picks for @brokebitchxbookclub and to complete the “water on the cover” prompt for #BooksCoffeeBingo!
I have yet to read an Agatha Christie novel that I do not enjoy. There is a reason why she’s the Queen of Mystery! I love the Hercule Poirot series and find Poirot such a quirky, fun character!
Death on the Nile is one of the ‘staple’ Poirot cases, but for me, it started a little slow. There were also a lot of characters that are introduced and it was a bit overwhelming. I alternated between the audio and a physical copy of the story which made the many characters a bit difficult to keep track of.
I love Christie’s writing and I’m always left bamboozled by the whodunnit at the end! I pride myself in generally being able to guess the murderer in mysteries/thrillers, but have yet to figure out them in a Christie novel!
Definitely recommend Agatha Christie to any mystery lovers out there, and definitely starting with her Hercule Poirot series!
