Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Do not open your heart to evil... Because—if you do—evil will come…It will enter in and make its home within you, and after a little while it will no longer be possible to drive it out."
Read this wonderful novel during a bus ride home, and there's nothing quite like the adrenaline rush you get when you're trying to finish the book before you get to the bus station 😂 Luckily I succeeded!
Classic Christie! It stands out for a particular reason, which I can't share because to do so would be to spoil the story. If you liked "Murder on the Orient Express," you will love this one.
Take a pack of seeming strangers, put them on a boat and sail them up the Nile... What could possibly go wrong on a vacation cruise? Apparently, a lot!
I like how every Christie novel is very similar and yet also very different from the others. Always, the piercing psychological insight and characterization of the cast is half the fun. (The other half is in madly flipping back and forth pages, rereading for clues when you finally find out whodunit) 😂
Can't wait to see a movie version of this!
