Summary: Death on the Nile
Comment: I recently read "Death on the Nile", by Agatha Christie, and the book left me astonished. The ingenious crafting of murder was impressive and the end, as usual, in her books, a complete mystery. It was a pleasure from the beginning to the end. A story of intrigue and romance, of money and passion, and of course, of murder had me reading it in one sittting. Linnet Ridgeway, a beautiful and very wealthy heiress, has everything. And what she doesn't have she obtains. Her best friend, Jackie De Belleforte longs for everything Linnet has. And when she introduces her new fiancé Simon to Linnet, Linnet takes that too. Simon and Linnet are married and go on a honeymoon to Egypt, only to find Jackie following them wherever they go. They are quite displeased with the way she demonstrates her anger. But as a number of mysterious accidents begin to happen, the famous detective Hercule Poirot is ready for them. One night, Linnet is murdered, and the most likely person, Jackie, has an alibi confirmed by five people. But who could have killed Linnet? And why? That I leave to the eager readers, but I extremely enjoyed this, and as all Christie books, this is a true mystery. I am glad I read this, and it is very interesting. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys mysteries.

Summary: Christie's Finest Work
Comment: If mystery had a name, it would be Agatha Christie. "Death on the Nile" is proof of that statement. It takes place in Egypt, a land of intrigue and caution. The beautiful Linnet Ridgeway, with her new husband, Simon, take a honeymoon that ends up disasterous. Linnet is dead, and only the masterful detective Hercule Poirot, who is also on board, can solve the mystery of who killed her. Other characters include Jacqueline de Bellefort--a previous lover of Simon's, Cornelia Robson--a seemingly innocent young girl on vaction with her crude cousin, Miss Van Scuyler, and many more! If you love a good mystery, you'll love this book!

Summary: more interview than serious sluething
Comment: I would have given this book 3 stars, but I must admit I was quite curious to find out the killer's identity.
I love a good mystery, but my problem with this book (& I am not a devoted Agatha Christie fan, prior to this I read a book of her short stories, and don't feel terribly inclined to read anymore of her work) is that after the murder takes place, the sluething is done by merely interviewing the cast of character's again & again- there wasn't any suspenseful poking around, or edge of the seat moments where you're sure the inspector is going to get caught uncovering clues- it was just a bunch of conversations. I practically needed a chart to keep track of all of the character's.
So, if you like your mysteries filled with drawing room chatter & not a lot of physical movement/uncovering- I highly recommend this- if you like more suspense, turn to Ruth Rendell or Patricia Carlon.
