Death on the Nile (Hercule Poirot, #18)

** spoiler alert **
This is only the second time that I read Death on the Nile. I remember the sublime subterfuge of the guilty party, but thought there were only two deaths in the book. In fact there are five deaths and the book has a quite hectic pace.
Hercule Poirot refers to previous cases once or twice. In Murder of the Orient Express he absolved the guilty completely. In Death on the Nile, he regrets bringing the murderer to justice, but carries out this task still.
The boat on the Nile houses many other characters who serve to camouflage the murderers. Investigation is carried out by Poirot and his temporary sidekick Colonel Race. There is some romance, and there is some sadness in the final revelation. I really enjoyed the book for there is no other book like it. The author was brilliant in imagining this setting. An unconditional 5 stars from me.

You come very close to revealing too much in this review.

I've added a spoiler alert.
On second thoughts, I don't think I've revealed too much.
Excellent review Luffy! Glad it was a five star for you.

Since it was a standalone i figured it would be the best place for me to start - if i didnt like the book then that would be the end but if i did ( and boy did i) then i could start her hercule peirot series ( maybe even in order )
Thanks ( night actually) , you too!
I wish this review had had a spoiler alert!

I believe this is Agatha Christie's best work

Great review, Luffy! Five stars...awesome!✨✨✨✨�
It’s undoubtedly an Agatha Christie classic for a reason ;))
