Death on the Nile
by Agatha Christie
I know I can never go wrong with Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot if I want a guaranteed good read. And true enough, she never lets me down.
The vast number of passengers on board the ship was confusing at first, but I got used to it. And while the story started out slow and it was quite a few chapters before the murder actually happened, I couldn't put it down.
Hercule Poirot was once again flawless. Cocky, sharp, intelligent but what stood out in this particular mystery was how human he was. He understood the human psyche, showed kindness and mercy, and even played matchmaker.
For me, the greatest strength and main point of Death On The Nile wasn't the murder, reveal or trying to figure out whodunit. It was about human psychology, love and the lengths people are willing to go for love. This is very unlike previous works of Agatha Christie's that I have read but this is also exactly why I'm such a fan of hers. There's always so much heart and soul in each story and character, always more than meets the eye.
