Death on the Nileis perfect. The Guardian
Review(s):
Death on the Nile is perfect.
One of her best. . . . First rate entertainment.
The main alibi is of the first brilliance . . . the descriptive work hits, as it were, the Nile on the head.
The construction is flawless.
I read everything by Agatha Christie.
Its tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the worlds had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special.
Must be read twice, once for enjoyment and once to see how the wheels go round.
Agatha Christies indelibly etched characters have entertained millions across the years and a love of her work has brought together generations of readersa singular achievement for any author and an inspiration to writers across the literary landscape.
Any mystery writer who wants to learn how to plot should spend a few days reading Agatha Christie. Shell show you everything you want to know.
A peach of a case for Poirot. I take my hat off to the author for as ingenious an alibi as can well be imagined.
