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.

When Hercule Poirot finds himself on a barge down the Nile with a simmering love triangle, he cannot stop it before the situation explodes into murder.

This is my second read of this book, though my first was some time ago, so fresher on my mind was the middling film adaptation. The book proves itself superior to the film of course, and holds up well on reread as well, as the motley cast of side characters introduced themselves to me with greater depth this time round. And the solution to the case is, of course, a cracker.

The audiobook is narrated by David Suchet. Though I found the voices he chose for supporting cast rather silly at times, it makes for a fun listen, and his Poirot is wonderful.
