Death on the Nile: A Hercule Poirot Novel (Hercule Poirot)

Just what you want in a detective story. Opulent settings, people on the verge of telling you who did it getting shot and ingenious twists not to mention lesser crimes thrown in as red herrings. A fun puzzle and always melodramatic. Poirot is pompous but lovable. Sort of a cartoon for people who can read.
