This is the second of Agatha Christie's books I have read and I am two for two on figuring out the end! I guessed the one from the first section before they even arrived in Egypt. For me, however, guessing the ending never takes away from the magic of Christie's writing. I love finding her bread crumbs and see the ways I have gotten it right. This was a super fun whodunnit which I greatly enjoyed.

One thing that detracts from the novel and Christie's writing is the racist opinions of many of her characters. This is a book written in the 30s when such views were more outwardly prevalent and it always hurts my heart to see them in a novel. So a word of warning in that regard.
