![]() ![]() Who killed the heiress, her maid, and the novelist? It’s like Clue, set on a boat in Egypt. ![]() It’s up to Poirot and the able, but not as sharp, Colonel Race to discover the culprit. Borrowing a page, anachronistically, from a television crime procedural, Christie ramps up the stakes with not one but two additional murders. Poirot is a badass, with one badass moustache, and this book proves that pretty definitively. I guess it’s payback for being so insufferably arrogant. Poor bastard doesn’t get a moment’s peace and quiet. In case the title doesn’t give it away, Death on the Nile is a punishment of sorts for Hercule Poirot. ![]() No one will kill anyone on your boat, they said. What’s a Belgian to do? Go on vacation, of course! Tour the Nile, they said. It’s just murder, murder, murder, all day, every day. So if you’re a famous detective like Hercule Poirot, you’re probably steeped in murder. ![]()
