Death on the Nile (Hercule Poirot #17) by Agatha Christie-351 pages
I have previously read Murder on the Orient Express and I found it fascinating. I decided to read this for the movie tie-in challenge, but (obviously) I did not finish it in time. I found this just as fascinating as Murder on the Orient Express. I am not an avid mystery reader, but I do like Agatha Christie. In this Poirot mystery, a rich young heiress who recently married her best friend's former fiancé, is murdered aboard a cruise ship on the Nile River in Egypt. Two more passengers are murdered soon after. Throughout the story, many plausible suspects are considered. Other, less sinister, crimes are unearthed (such as Linnet Doyle's pearls being stolen). The story takes many twists and turns, but the ending is very satisfying and makes sense. I would highly recommend this, especially since there is a movie releasing soon.
