It’s not just one death on the Nile. Is it revenge or is it something
else? Revenge seems plausible since the first victim stole the fiancé
of her best friend who proceeded to follow the new couple everywhere –
even on their honeymoon, a boat voyage along the Nile. She’s even
carrying a gun and stated how she’d shot victim one because she can’t
stand anyone else having her man. But she has an alibi. Thank goodness
Poirot is aboard the boat to get to the bottom of things. There were a
lot of smaller mysteries to solve along the way in this story which was
fun. It was a good story, though the ending maybe not be quite as
surprising as some others in the series. I think it’s still worth
reading if a mystery set among the pyramids and the Nile sounds nice. As
usual with Agatha Christie it’s not a graphic murder mystery novel, but
more of a light puzzler.
(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Agatha Christie’s
Murder in Mesopotamia or
Appointment With Death. Both star the Belgian detective away from England.)
