Well, I’ve only read one other Agatha Christie book, Murder on the Orient Express, which I liked.
I couldn’t get into this one as much. I didn’t like any of the characters except for Poirot, the plot was a bit predictable and had a soap-opera like love triangle (and the end - what?). Being set in Egypt, it was hard to see past the pretty blatant racism/classism. I know this is in a lot of her books from this time period but still.
All of these factors led me to not like it much, though I will say in true Agatha Christie fashion it was suspenseful and a quick page-turner.
