Death on the Nile

Death on the Nile  is a classic Hercule Poirot novel that I had not previously read.   This tome by Agatha Christie is being adapted to the screen in 2022 and I selected this as the the book to fit that prompt for several of my challenges.  I am excited to see the movie after having read the book which I found enjoyable as I usually do all of her books.  

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first time I read this book by Agatha Christie. I enjoyed the level of complexity in the characters and the many red herrings this story included. The many characters interact in amazing ways and the false suspicions are well presented and believable. The twists and turns leave the reader guessing until the very end. The descriptions of Egypt and the pyramids are amazing and it is easy to visualize the scenery and monuments. The classic lives up to the expectations
