"See you, I recognize my own weaknesses. It has been said of me that I like to make a case difficult. This solution that you put to me - it is too simple, too easy. I cannot feel that it really happened. And yet, that may be the sheer prejudice on my part."
I had a lot of fun reading this book. I also really enjoyed the mystery aspect of it. I watched the 1978 movie before reading the book, and while I enjoyed both, I wasn't expecting the movie to be so close to the book. (I only accept the 1978 movie, especially since I refuse to watch the 2020 version.) There were a lot of moments while reading where I was like "I remember that!"

Death on the Nile is an Agatha Christie classic.
I much more prefere the Miss Marpel novels, however. Hercule Poirot is intendet to come across as arrogant, but in some cases it's simply annoying. 
Contrary to other Agatha Christie books I almost immediatly knew, who the murderer was.

although, I so very much hoped that Jackie would somehow be innocent

I liked that all charaters had their faults and you really could not agree with any of them. As a reader you never really knew who's side to be on.
Also this story had to many characters and some of them didn't feel necessary to the plot at all.
Worst of all is the constant racism expressed by some of the characters, which really ruins some chapters and the reading experience. Hopefully newer editions edit it out, as it is in no way important the the storyline and only ruins the book.
I was looking forward to seeing the new movie, until I saw that Armie Hammer was going to be in it, so now I'll watch the older film version, which also looks amazing.

I didn't enjoy it a lot at first but then I really liked the last half of it. A great read but there are some problematic ideas in it.

my favorite character was Jacqueline and I didn't want her to be the killer so much but I loved the twist. The only problem is (other than fatphobia) however I've seen this twist in Endless Night so I guessed it at one point. I thought she probably didn't do the same thing twice right? Wrong she did it again.
