Amazon.com Review
Hercule Poirot is perhaps Agatha Christie's most interesting and endearing character; short, round, and slightly comical, Poirot has a razor-sharp mind and puts unlimited trust in his "little grey cells." Those little cells come through for him every time, enabling Poirot to solve some of the most baffling mysteries ever conceived. In Death on the Nile, Poirot, on vacation in Africa, meets the rich, beautiful Linnet Doyle and her new husband, Simon. As usual, all is not as it seems between the newlyweds, and when Linnet is found murdered, Poirot must sort through a boatload of suspects to find the killer before he (or she) strikes again.
Product Description
Young, beautiful, and rich, Linnet Doyle sparks the interest of Detective Hercule Poirot when she and her new husband take a cruise on the same ship as he, and he senses trouble in paradise. Reprint.

 Death on the Nile October 13, 2008
Death on the Nile is one of Agatha Christie's greatest works. Being one of the Poirot mysteries, it is set on a boat traveling along the Nile. I will not give away any other information here, only to say that I would not recommend you reading this book at night.
 One of Poirot's finest cases. May 16, 2008
Certainly Christie out did herself in this brilliant murder mystery that has you guessing until the end.

Death on the Nile is a masterpiece of mystery. Put a beautiful young celebrity who inherits great wealth in a love triangle. Then provide a backdrop of a very memorable Egypt and drop in Hercule Poirot. Now you have the chemsitry and ingredients for a terrific mystery.
As the plot unfolds and you finish a chapter, you will find yourself setting down the book to think through what the latest twists and turns may mean.
Don't miss reading this. You can do a lot worse, but not much better.

I'd read this book once in primary school, and re-read it again last night (in a single sitting, that is!). I enjoyed it much more thoroughly than I remember enjoying it earlier, and I must say as an Agatha Christie fan that this is her BEST novel.
The plot around the death in this novel is flawless and there's no question left in the minds of the reader once the mystery is unfolded. The author, as usual, kept me waiting till the very end to find out the solution to the mystery - and I experienced extreme pleasure and the 'aha' effect on reading the end. Wow, this is definitely a masterpiece, and one of Christie's best works. Highly recommended.
Death on the Nile = A great mystery June 7, 2007

I read this book recently and found it very enjoyable. I picked it up because one, I love Agatha Christie and two, I love Egypt. As I began this book I found that it started out fairly slow. When I start a murder mystery, I look forward to the detective figuring out what went wrong and in Death on the Nile, it took a while for this part of the book to come. The other thing I was slightly dissapointed with was that there was not much information about the scenery of Egypt, which I was expecting. Then again, I guess you can't expect too much scenery from a foreign place in a murder mystery. The shock of who the murderer was in the end, was perfect. It made me think in my mind about how the whole scheme worked out way after I finished reading it. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a thrilling murder mystery, even if they have to wait a little bit for it.
