Review of 'Death on the Nile' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This story took an unusually long time to build up to the crimes, by which point we had thoroughly developed all the players on the stage. That is probably why I felt confident about the outcome and was ultimately proven correct! This is only the second time I've figured it out before the reveal, so I'm quite happy about that.

The setting was interesting and played well into the story. I also liked how the book referred to some of the earlier works here and there.
