Who killed who? Hercule Poirot solves the mystery. There’s a good reason why Agatha Christie is called the Queen of Mystery 3.5 This was a disappointing read. I went into this expecting to come out raving about how good it is, but unfortunately, not the case. In a mystery book, the two important aspects are the characters and a challenging mystery. This book failed on both and more, now roll the reasons! The characters When you like the characters, it makes a mystery story all the more better, however, I didn't enjoy reading about any of the characters. AT ALL. The characters weren't written realistically and that's an important part of a mystery novel since obviously we have murders in real life and the portrayal of the characters dealing with the situation was not good at all. The characters fell flat for me and felt like they were one dimensional. The setting This book is set in Egypt and it excited me at first, I was hoping for some beautiful descriptions of the place but we didn't get this. The fact that the title mentions the Nile made me assume Egypt was going to be a huge part of the story. Something else to note: There were a few awkward racist descriptions throughout the book but back then, obviously they had different views and things back then and what wasn't racist back then is now racist/not politically correct. Engagement/b> Thank goodness this book was short because I was not invested in at at all, and it was just so boring and dull! The mystery did not captivate me, the characters made me yawn. The book was just a complete and utter bore. The mystery I wasn't much enthralled by the mystery aspect and it didn't feel like something very complicated and challenging for the characters to solve. Concluding thoughts: Though a short book, it was still an utter bore and has got many faults, if these aspects were improved, would have made this book enjoyable. I have never read an Agatha Christie book before and this makes me worry about what her other ones are like. Currently, Death on the Nile, the movie has opened to a hungry public anxious to return to the cinema. The Agatha Christie novel delights with the tale of three murders on a trip down the Nile. As even the reviews and plot summaries suggest the first murder is Linnet Ridgeway, a young, beautiful heiress. Men fall at her feet and women adore her. Instead of marrying a stuffy English lord, Linnet steals the lover of her oldest and dearest friend, Jackie de Bellefont. Simon Doyle and Linnet plan to honeymoon on a Nile river trip. Much to the surprise of everyone, Jackie books passage on this cruise. Murder and mayhem follow the flow of the river. Agatha must be a lover of Shakespeare, as many of the couplings resemble Shakespeare’s twist of lovers. The setting and dialogue present a well versed and funny novel at times.
Linnet Rideway es una joven agraciada y millonaria que lo posee todo. Su amiga, Jacqueline de Bellefort, no menos hermosa aunque pobre, sólo tiene amor de su prometido Simon Doyle. Sin embargo, Simon acaba casándose con Linnet. El nuevo matrimonio inicia un crucero por el Nilo a bordo de Karnak y durante el viaje, que habría de haber sido el mejor viaje de su vida, Linnet muere asesinada. Tras su asesinato se suceden otros que serán investigados por Hercule Poirot, que viaja en el mismo crucero.
