‘Death on the Nile’ is a murder mystery written by Agatha Christie who is also known as the Queen of Crime. William Collins Sons & Co first published the book in 1956.

The passage from the book which impressed me the most was when Poirot said that it was Simon Doyle who was the murderer and explained how he did it because I hadn’t been able to figure it out. It was hard to believe that Simon did it because he had been shot in his leg, but Jackie had deliberately missed him and the bullet hit the leg of the chair he was sitting on. Because Simon pretended to be shot, he was then able to kill Linnet without anyone suspecting him. Afterwards he shot himself in the leg and got back to his chair to make his alibi totally believable.

At first, I wanted ‘Detective’ for the theme, but what I found was all the same and very limited. Most of the novels is more action and thriller instead of detective. Then I thought of CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) which is also a kind of detective, so to make the theme broader I chose ‘Crime’. I knew that Agatha Christie was the Queen of Crime. Her books were famous, and this story is in my opinion one of the best. resizeListene
