Death on the Nile

Agatha Christie, Death on the Nile.

Having read Murder on the Orient Express and also having seen the 2017 film, it was fitting to read Death on the Nile in preparation for the 2022 film.

A stark difference between the two books is that Murder on the Orient Express has a twist which subverts the mystery genre, whereas Death on the Nile is more traditional. I am not an avid murder mystery reader, so it was interesting to see how everyone's motives were build up and secrets revealed until, as Poirot puts it, only the naked truth is left.

Note: I listened to the audiobook narrated by Kenneth Branagh.
