Summary: Death On The Nile
Review: Death On The Nile is a fast paced mystery novel. You meet a collection of different characters most of whom turn about to be suspects. Each character has their own unique story that Agatha Christie uses to enrich the plot and keep you guessing.

Summary: One of the best books by the Master of Mystery!
Review: Death on the Nile is propably the second best book by Agatha Christie, fallowing And Then There Were None. The Cunning Christie keeps you guessing until the end of the story and then picks the murderer as the last one you would expect.Another great book by Agatha Christie.

Summary: Christe Little
Review: Death on the Nile was not Christe's finest work, or her most well crafted. The murder itself was wonderfully done, but the method in which the aforesaid murder was rather unlikely. The engineering of such a plan as the murder(s) carried out was not something a normal person, or, for that matter, most any person would be able to do effectively. Few, if any, human beings would have the mental stamina necessary to carry out murders. Several things were done by the murderer(s) that normal human beings are simply not capable of. I cannot give examples here without breaking to the reader the end of the novel, but I will say that such events as take place in the novel are hardly likely in the real world.

Summary: The Best of the Christie BBC Radio Audio Adaptations!
Review: Having heard all of the BBC Radio adaptations of Christie's work I can say without reservation that this was among the very best. Of course, much is owed to the fact that Death on the Nile ranks among Christie's finest stories, both with respect to plot, dialogue, and character development; however, what makes this radio play extraordinary are the superb direction and acting. This play is so delicious you simply won't want it to end. Don't miss this one.

Summary: One of Christie's Best
Review: I consider myself a devout Agatha Christie fan, and this novel was no exception to her tradition of excellence in writing. It is definately one of her best works and I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a great book to keep by the bedside or on the porch to read.

Summary: Boring and Predictable
Review: I do feel a tad guilty about giving this book such a low mark.After all, Dame Christie was and is a legend and I do believe in the 30,s 40,s and 50,s her books were much better received.Maybe I am just too jaded.I hope not. The book is a nice quick read but it is boring and my wife(who only listened to a few hints) and I figured out the killer easily and quickly. And the effete little Periot is almost a farcical figure with his cute little sayings etc.When Mrs. Doyle says, "Why I haven't an enemy in the world," near the beginning , you know she is, how you say, the "piece of toast>"Thats how cute little Hercules would have, how you say, said it.HE too often comes up with some really droll wonderful expression like, "Ah, life is so mysterious" or some such.The first, and how you say, the last of her books, I shall open.

Summary: Don't drug the detective
Review: I guess even if I gave it a 1-star rating, it would not drag down its average rating. Indeed, this is one of the best known Christie. I find that no one other than her is qualified to write detective novels. Most detective novels are really short stories plus nonsense for money-cheating purpose, while in Christie's novels, clues are hidden everywhere if you really pay attention. Some are red herrings, some are essential, but all related to the development of the mystery. In one word, Christie's place in detective novels is the same as Doyle's in detective short stories (Hound and so on are longer stories, but shorter than a novel should be).However, there is a serious defect in this novel as well as many others. Poirot was actually drugged when the crime was committed. Although this is only a fiction, but I think an author cannot drug the detective without giving a good reason why the detective will never be poisoned to death.
