actual rating: 2.5
Disappointingly predictable. But I understand that may be the effect of it being a short story.

I didn’t know about this short story, of the same name as (and predating) one of Agatha Christie’s most famous novels, until today! A short, sharp read which I very much enjoyed. It might just be because I read Death On The Nile (the novel) so recently but I feel like I can see some character similarities between this cast and those who appear in the DOTN novel, but that might just be me reading too much into it

Not sure why she named two books of hers Death on the Nile but I like them both (the longer one better ofc). I guessed who it was but only because that kind of person is guilty a lot in Agatha Christie's stories (if you want to know what kind of person I'm talking about:
Spoilerit's usually the secretary
).

Still interesting, though.
