All I want in life is to solve an incredibly complex murder mystery in a wonderful and tropical location. Is that too much to ask for?? This book makes me feel like I could easily solve any crime <3

Death in the Nile, as with all Agatha Christie novels, surprised and shocked me. Her genius with mystery rightly earned her the title, “Queen of Mystery.”

That being said, while I enjoyed the story and read it all in one sitting, it wasn’t my absolute favorite of hers.

I had started to work out the ending in advance of its reveal, but it was still entirely satisfying, and that's when you know the writer is really good. I think I liked this one even better than Orient Express.

Agatha Christie's books are always a complex and intriguing puzzle where every piece is a mystery in itself. Although Death on the Nile has a slow take off, with the introduction of multiple characters, it certainly gets very interesting and absolutely compelling. And just like in evey puzzle, we get a sense of wholeness and satisfaction when it is beautifully completed.

This was my first Agatha Christie book and I feel like I expected... more?
I had to push myself to continue reading until I reached about half of the book. To me, it started being painfully slow, but after the

first

murder things started to pick up a faster pace. 
I started to enjoy it towards the end, where the details start being revealed. 
I think it can still be a good read for whoever enjoys mystery and murder stories, just know that it'll start slow! Plus, getting to remember all of the names at the beginning was really confusing. 
I wouldn't say I enjoyed it 100% but some chapters did keep me entertained. 
If someone asked me if I liked it I would say "meeeh" or "it was alright" meaning that I wouldn't re-read it.
