What are readers saying about Death on the Nile (Hercule Poirot)?

Wealthy, beautiful, and much envied Linnet Doyle travels to Egypt with her husband Simon for their honeymoon. They are mercilessly stalked by the woman Simon jilted to be with Linnet, Jacqueline De Bellefort, who was also Linnet’s dear friend. Jacqueline’s seething anger towards Linnet and her persistent adoration of Simon quickly set the stage for potential violence. But as one might expect, Christie has peopled the ship they are sailing down the Nile on with many other colorful – and suspicious – characters. Including the famed detective Hercule Poirot.My introduction to mysteries long ago came with Arthur Conan Doyle and the tales of Sherlock Holmes, a character who evolved into such a hero of mine that I deliberately avoided the works of other writers of detective fiction and mysteries, including Agatha Christie. In my mid-40s, and I have finally read a Poirot mystery. Regrettable that I waited so long. Not just so because of the pleasure I could have had reading Christie’s works years ago, but because at this point in my life, having read and seen so many mysteries inspired by Dame Agatha, I can’t help but feel that Death on the Nile was very formulaic. I would likely have enjoyed it much more some 20 years ago, before this approach to mysteries became so overdone and trite. Yet on that account – seeing this as an innovative and even ingenious work for its time – I highly recommend it.

I highly enjoyed reading this book. It kept me guessing, and I never expected the various twists. One of my favorites that even if I know whodunnit, I still love reading it over and over!

A Christie classic from the golden age, this ranks with Murder on the Orient Express as one of her finest. Beautifully realised settings are matched by audacious plotting and one of her finest casts of suspcious characters. The highlight however is the tragic Jacqueline de Bellefort, one of Christie's more three-dimensional and hence memorable leading ladies. She gives the book an air of believablity lacking in some of her other stories where it often feels the puzzle is almost more important, hence making this one all the more engrossing.

I read this recently and really enjoyed it. It's very interesting how the actual murderer/s set out there plan. It was very clever.

My first Agatha Christie, when I was about 11 years old - and I was hooked for life to reading all her murder mysteries (many of them read several times over)! I still have 2-3 titles that I have not yet read - but I'm in no hurry. Feels nice to think that I still have some unread mysteries to look forward to...
