This book was slow at the start but overtime the pace picked up quite well. The story flows smoothly and I don't think I expected the later events. Also, that ending... so good.

I just wish the "Pride and Prejudice but Mister Darcy is a bitch and also a communist" story line would have worked out :/

Agatha Christie books are always a great time, and Death on the Nile is no exception. It was a tad bit predictable in the sense that you could make a good guess as to who the murderer was, but it still keeps you reading until the end. Overall just a very fun read.

3.0

it is so disappointing to be reading this book and come across racist comments. it ruins any enjoyment i was feeling. 

aside from that, this was a less enjoyable Christie because I was able to guess the plot in the first 30ish pages. however, i really enjoyed the last 20 pages where we get the interactions between Poirot and Jacqueline after the murderer is revealed.
