3 to 3.5 starsThis was my second Poirot after Murder On The Orient Express a few years ago. Seems like that is the one everyone has read! I read that one because I was interested to read it before the new movie version came out. This time I was looking to try another Poirot, and saw that Branagh was doing another run as the detective in an upcoming cinematic version of Death on the Nile, so it was the perfect one to try next.It was good, but not quite as good as Orient Express. I am kind of not
”’What a lot of enemies you must make, Linnet.’‘Enemies?’ Linnet looked surprised.Joanna nodded and helped herself to a cigarette.‘Enemies, my sweet. You’re so devastatingly efficient. And you’re so frightfully good at doing the right thing.’Linnet laughed.‘Why, I haven’t got an enemy in the world!’” Linnet Doyle is on her honeymoon in Egypt with the husband she recently stole from one of her best friends. Not only is Linnet filthy rich, but also gorgeous, sophisticated, and charming. Some mi...
Another flashback Saturday, I’m reading another book I’ve read 20 years ago as a tribute to my younger, dumber, naiver self. Good thing is I feel like I’m reading a brand new book because I forget so many details, characters and some crucial parts about story’s progression. I watched the first movie adaptation (1978) with Peter Ustinov( he’s brilliant actor but I still loved Albert Finney’s portrait more) Betty Davis, Angela Lansbury and Mia Farrow. The casting is remarkable and the fast pacing
An old favourite revisited, Agatha Christie never fails to suck the reader in. Superbly plotted, Death On The Nile is full of intrigue, and you find yourself turning pages long into the night. Few author's today can match the Queen of Crime. Highly recommended.
"Me, I work with my brains and am not ashamed of it," said Poirot. Reading Agatha Christie is always such a treat. I know I'm in for a good time, so I clear out my schedule, put on my comfiest outfit, and settle in for a few hours of fun and cozy-murdering. And Death on the Nile sure delivers.Wealthy heiress Linnet Ridgeway has it all: beauty, charm, and money. And now she has love too, marrying the man of her dreams and starting their lives together with a honeymoon in Egypt. But this exotic
A friend told me who the murderer was, so I was not surprized when the killer was discovered.I never talked to this friend again...
3.5⭐This book is a bit slow going in with character introduction, but once all the characters board SS. Karnak, the story really took off for me. Death on the Nile features heiress Linnet Ridgeway, her longtime friend Jacqueline de Bellefort, and fiance Simon Doyle. Hercule Poirot is on vacation and taking the Nile cruise as many other secondary characters. I thought the mystery was good and I enjoy listening to Poirot's train of thought, but I felt the reveal was somewhat underwhelming. 🤷♀️The...
"Hospital nurses, me, I find them always gloomy! The night nurse, always, she is astonished to find her patient alive in the evening; the day nurse, always, she is surprised to find him alive in the morning! They know too much, you see, of the possibilities that may arise."I found it very funny that these words of Poirot written eighty two years ago still hold true. I know a woman who works as a nurse and the above description fits her to the T. Then again, it was Poirot who said it and he was n...
Hopefully I am not committing any heretical thoughtcrime here, but am I the only one who thinks Hercule Poirot comes across as a bit of a doucheapotamus . Between the accent, the arrogance and the jabbing his butt into everyone’s business, he reminded of a cross between nosey neighbor Gladys Kravitz and everyone's favorite rapist, Pepe Le Pew. Now before you get the cheese grater and the lemon juice out for me, let me say that this is my first Agatha Christie novel and my first experience wi...
