So as of right now I’ve read books 1-11, Hercule Poirot’s Christmas, Hallowe’en Party, and probably 1-2 dozen short stories, and Death on the Nile is definitely far above the others in terms of complexity. There is quite literally over half a dozen crimes committed in this one! I do not have a logical or meticulous mind, so to me it still feels like maybe she’s just pulling facts and clues out of a hat, but damn do I enjoy reading it. Of course all of these mysteries involve crime, so you’re reading a lot of murder, thievery, debauchery, but wow this one in particular was very very dark.
Why does it seem like Hercule can never take a dang vacation? His little grey cells are just too powerful.

This was the perfect cozy mystery! I love Hercule Poirot and I totally admire and respect him. I swear he knew who it was since the beginning like he had this all figured out and was just stretching it out to keep the suspense. I had my suspicions on everyone at some point in the book. Half of my suspicion was right but I didn't think it was true since that seemed too easy. But this was an addicting book that I devoured, like I've never wanted to stay up all night just to finish a book. The movie for this is going to be chaotic and I'm here for it.

Look at the moon up there. You see her very plainly, don't you? She's very real. But if the sun were to shine you wouldn't be able to see her at all. It was rather like that. I was the moon...
