Death on the Nile audiobook

"Me, I work with my brains and am not ashamed of it," said Poirot. Reading Agatha Christie is always such a treat. I know I'm in for a good time, so I clear out my schedule, put on my comfiest outfit, and settle in for a few hours of fun and cozy-murdering. And Death on the Nile sure delivers.Wealthy heiress Linnet Ridgeway has it all: beauty, charm, and money. And now she has love too, marrying the man of her dreams and starting their lives together with a honeymoon in Egypt. But this exotic trip to a faraway locale is turning up a surprising number of familiar faces. And when their cruise along the Nile turns deadly, Hercule Poirot must step in and solve the case.The pacing, at least initially, feels more luxurious than some of Christie's other mysteries. We don't jump immediately into the cozy-murdering. Instead, we settle in to meet the full cast of characters and really dive into Linnet's story. I found her character to be compelling, and the circumstances leading up to her marriage interesting and a bit scandalous.And once we get to the mystery, it's as fun as any whodunnit I've read. Because we already got to know all the players before the murder even happened, there isn't that awkward chunk when we have to meet and establish everyone. Instead, we can really focus on the mystery, and it is a good one. It has so many juicy elements: intrigue, love, backstabbing, money, and deception. And we are treated to all the clues and red herrings we've come to know and love from the genre.One thing I particularly enjoy about Agatha Christie's mysteries is the crispness of her reveal. They are always simple and logical, yet also completely surprising. It is her hallmark, one that I've searched far and wide and have found very few authors who can match. Often, other reveals are either too simple (so you see it coming from a mile away), or are so convoluted and outlandish that it borders on nonsensical. But with Christie, there's always that eureka moment when everything comes together in the most satisfying and logical conclusion.Sometimes I wonder how our literary world would've been if Agatha Christie never came along, what a terrible loss we never would've known. Thankfully, we don't need to contemplate such an unspeakable scenario. We do have her and reading her books is always the most delightful of experiences.

Another flashback Saturday, I’m reading another book I’ve read 20 years ago as a tribute to my younger, dumber, naiver self. Good thing is I feel like I’m reading a brand new book because I forget so many details, characters and some crucial parts about story’s progression. I watched the first movie adaptation (1978) with Peter Ustinov( he’s brilliant actor but I still loved Albert Finney’s portrait more) Betty Davis, Angela Lansbury and Mia Farrow. The casting is remarkable and the fast pacing and twisty script was true reflection of the story’s essence. Normally Kenneth Branagh’ s adaptation is scheduled to be released on October 2020 but they pushed the date to February 11th ( I already reserved my thicket) I hope it’ll worth to wait for! Overall: this is also one of my favorite Poirot books of Ms. Christie. Exotic locations, slow burn intriguing mystery and remarkable character compositions. So I’m glad to reread the mystery at the quietest 4th July of my life and enjoying my time!

One of Christie's best.And one of my personal favorites. I adore Poirot in this one. He's got such a soft spot for a woman in trouble, and of course, he's always a sucker for young love.In Death on the Nile he manages to put his excellent matchmaking skills to such good use that you get not one but two weddings...and a funeral. Well. Actually more than one funeral, but I don't want to spoil too much for those of you who haven't read this book yet. It opens with two starry-eyed lovers on the cusp of getting married. Jacqueline De Bellefort and Simon Doyle are crazy about each other and ready to start their life together.When Jacqueline comes to her best friend and asks for help, the rich and beautiful Linett Ridgeway agrees to give Simon a job so they'll have the money to marry.They all hug. Or have a cup of tea. Whatever they did back in the day to show affection.What could go wrong? This is a twisty whodunnit with a huge cast that each has their own secrets to protect. Jewel thieves, bigamists, terrorists, alcoholics, and cleptomaniacs are all sniffed out one at a time by the little Belgian detective. Still, by the end of it all, you care quite a bit about the characters that make up this incredibly colorful group of passengers. And yes, Jacqueline, Linnet, and Simon are the stars but not necessarily the ones you're rooting for by the end of the book. Oh!And for those of you who love a crossover, Colonel Race, who originally appears in The Man in the Brown Suit and has previously teamed up with Hercule in Cards on the Table, shows up to help Poirot suss out the killer. If you've read The Man in the Brown Suit you'll recognize the 'code' used in the letter Linnet accidentally picked up thinking it was for her.Both are great books if you get the chance to check them out, by the way.A must-read for any Christie fan.PS - Kenneth Branagh is a menace to the memory of Agatha Christie. He ruined every good storyline in this book with his terrible movie. I wanted so much to love it, but...

4.5 stars"I like an audience, I must confess. I am vain, you see. I am puffed up with conceit. I like to say: ‘See how clever is Hercule Poirot!’"Well, this confession from the renowned detective may very well be true, but I admit it is one of the reasons I love him so! He also has integrity and class… and a really swell mustache! Reading Agatha Christie’s Poirot stories never fail to entertain and to comfort. In my part of the country, we are bracing for a winter storm with heaps of snow and frigid temperatures. The dark, dreary days and the vision of my least favorite season stretching well into March are threatening to cause a case of wintertime funk. Fortunately, I can get lost in a book; and, in this instance, I can further imagine myself far, far away – cruising down the Nile River with Poirot and company. I’ll even take a boatload of potential murderers as my company at this point! Anything to escape for a bit!The super-rich, drop-dead gorgeous Linnet Ridgeway is on her honeymoon in Egypt… on her honeymoon with her best friend’s former fiancé, I should add. Jacqueline de Bellefort may have been cast aside, but she is not going to let Linnet and Simon Doyle revel in their marriage without being a thorn, a very large thorn, in their sides. When she pops up once again and boards the same boat down the Nile, the newlyweds know it couldn’t really be a coincidence. Poirot showing up on holiday at the same time and place is rather fortuitous, however. There may be a few folks on board this pleasure cruise that are not at all happy to see the detective, holiday or not. We quickly learn that more than one person just might consider Linnet to be his or her enemy. As usual, there are plenty of suspects and it was a delight meeting each and every one and trying to sort out the multiple motives for murder. "Do people interest you too, Monsieur Poirot? Or do you reserve your interest for potential criminals?""Madame—that category would not leave many people outside it."A lush setting, elegant and mysterious characters, lively dialogue, and murder combine to make a very satisfying read. I had fun working alongside Poirot, who naturally won’t share all of his ideas with anyone, including the dear reader. I thought I had it figured out a few times, but I’m easily fooled by all the red herrings. That’s okay, I like being distracted by it all! Highly recommended for mystery lovers and Agatha Christie fans. I had been eager to read this one ever since I had seen "Murder on the Orient Express" in theaters last year and found out that an adaptation was in the works for this book as well. I can’t wait to get in line for my ticket when it’s released! 4.5 stars"Do not open your heart to evil… Because—if you do—evil will come…Yes, very surely evil will come…It will enter in and make its home within you, and after a little while it will no longer be possible to drive it out."

A friend told me who the murderer was, so I was not surprized when the killer was discovered.I never talked to this friend again...

Death on the Nile (Hercule Poirot, #17), Agatha ChristieDeath on the Nile is a book of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 1 November 1937. The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The action takes place in Egypt, mostly on the Nile River. While on holiday in Cairo, Hercule Poirot is approached by successful socialite Linnet Doyle. She requests his help in deterring her friend Jacqueline de Bellefort from hounding and stalking her. Linnet had recently married her friend's fiancé, Simon Doyle, which has made Jacqueline bitterly resentful of her. Poirot refuses the request, but attempts unsuccessfully to dissuade Jacqueline from pursuing her plans further. Simon and Linnet secretly board the steamer Karnak, set to tour along the Nile, to escape her, but find she had learned of their plans and boarded ahead of them. Apart from them, Poirot travels on the steamer, while the other passengers include Linnet's maid Louise Bourget, her trustee Andrew Pennington, romance novelist Salome Otterbourne and her daughter Rosalie, Tim Allerton and his mother Mrs. Allerton, American socialite Marie Van Schuyler, her cousin Cornelia Robson and her nurse Miss Bowers, outspoken communist Mr. Ferguson, Italian archaeologist Guido Richetti, solicitor Jim Fanthorp, and physician Dr. Bessner. ...عنوانهای چاپ شده در ایران: «شبح مرگ بر فراز نیل»؛ «قتل بر رود نیل»؛ «قتل در کرانه نیل»؛ «قتل در ماه عسل»؛ «مرگ بر روی رودخانه نیل»؛ «جنایت در کرانه رودخانه نیل: از عملیات کارآگاه مشهور (هرکول پوارو)»؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ تاریخ نخستین خوانش: سال1995میلادیعنوان: قتل در کرانه نیل؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم: بهرام افراسیابی؛ تهران، سخن، چاپ دوم سال1373؛ در382ص؛ چاپ دیگر تهران، نشر مهرفام، سال1389، در440ص؛ شابک9789649915296؛ چاپ دوم سال1389؛ در422ص؛ موضوع داستانهای کارآگاهی از نویسندگان بریتانیا - سده20معنوان: قتل در ماه عسل؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم پروانه دادبخش؛ مشهد، جاودان خرد، سال1375؛ در375ص؛ شابک9645955676؛ چاپ دیگر تهران نشر گوتنبرگ، سال1385؛ در375ص؛ شابک9645955076؛ عنوان: جنایت در کرانه رودخانه نیل: از عملیات کارآگاه مشهور هرکول پوارو؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم علیرضا نعمتی؛ تهران، نشر افشار، سال1379؛ در176ص؛ شابک9646402615؛عنوان: شبح مرگ بر فراز نیل؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم نیما حضرتی، تهران، هرمس، کارآگاه، سال1390، در367ص؛ شابک9789643637088؛ چاپ دوم سال1393؛ چاپ سوم سال1397؛ عنوان: مرگ بر روی رودخانه نیل؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم: محمدصادق شریعتی، تهران، گویش نو، سال1395، در207ص؛ دوزبانه، شابک9786006382562؛ عنوان: قتل بر رود نیل؛ نویسنده: آگاتا کریستی (میلر)؛ مترجم سپیده حبیبی؛ تهران، نگارش الکترونیک، سال1395؛ در44ص؛رمان «مرگ بر روی نیل» اثر بانوی روانشاد «آگاتا کریستی» نویسنده ی «بریتانیا»، و از سری «هرکول پوآرو» است، که نخستین بار در «بریتانیا» و در ماه نوامبر سال1937میلادی منتشر شد؛داستان در یک کشتی‌، بر روی رود نیل رخ می‌دهد، و درباره ی قتل یک دختر ثروتمند است؛ بانوی نگارگر خیال خانم «آگاتا کریستی» می‌گویند (این داستان بیشتر مورد پسند بانوان است تا آقایان! چون داستان پیرامون مسائل احساسی عشقی و عاطفی دور می‌زند، تا مسائل جنایی)؛چکیده: (دختری با تمام وجود برای نامزدش از دوست دیرینه‌ ی خویش درخواست شغلی می‌کند، دوستی که همه چیز دارد «پول»، «ثروت»، «زیبایی» و «موقعیّت اجتماعی» و ...؛ ولی با دیدن نامزد دخترک، تمام دوستی و معیارهای انسانی را زیرپا گذاشته، و بدون درنگ نامزد دوست خودش را از چنگ وی می‌‌رباید؛ نامزد دوستش آقایی است به نام «سیمون دایل» با چهره‌ ای زیبا، و اندامی مردانه، ولی مغزی بچگانه، که تحت تأثیر هوش و ذکاوت «ژاکلین دبلفورت» نامزد پیشین خویش است، و زود فریفته می‌شود، و با یک برنامه ی شیطانی و هماهنگ، با چند رخداد دیگر در کشتی «کارناک»، حوادثی را می‌آفریند، که یکی از شاهکارهای خانم «آگاتا کریستی» به شمار می‌رود؛ برای خوانشگر هر لحظه‌ ی داستان هیجان‌ انگیز است و تصوّر نمی‌کند که لحظه بعدی بر روی رود «نیل» چه بر سر قهرمانان خواهد آمد؛ داستان بیشتر شکل رمانتیک و عاشقانه دارد، تا داستان پلیسی و در نهایت، درس اخلاقی و هشداری قوی، برای کسانی است، که ذهن خودشان را پر از گره‌ های نادرست، و کژآلود نموده، و نسبت به آنچه که دارند ناسپاس و ناشکر هستند؛ بانوی روانشاد «آگاتا کریستی» در این اثر، بر روی کشتی «کارناک» صحنه‌ هایی را در «اسوان»، و «شلا»، با چهره‌ هایی همچون «سیمون دایل»، «ژاکلین دبلفورت»، «پوارو»، «تیم آلرتون»، «خانم آلرتون»، «شایلر»، «آندریو پنینگتون» ترسیم کرده اند، که سخت مورد توجه فیلمسازان قرار گرفته، و فیلمی هم به نام «مرگ بر روی نیل» از روی آن برساخته شده است؛ این داستان را تقریباً می‌توان با داستان «رمز قطار آبی» که از جمله کارهای ظریف، و برگزیده ی بانوی روانشاد خانم «آگاتا کریستی» است، برابر نهاد؛ در هر دو کتاب، قتل و دزدی با هم صورت می‌گیرند، و مسائل عاطفی و عشقی نیز، زیر بنا هستند، و این دو، انگیزه ی خوانشگر را، تا ورق پایانی با خود می‌کشاند)؛ پایان چکیدهتاریخ بهنگام رسانی 27/04/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ 07/02/1401هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie is a 2005 William Morrow publication. (Originally published in 1937)What a gem! It’s always fun to read an Agatha Christie Mystery. I believe I read this one many, many years ago, and watched the old movie version starring Peter Ustinov- also many, many years ago. But the details have mostly vanished from my memory now. So, while the story is familiar, I was still riveted from start to finish! A very clever set up- a guessing game of the highest order. So many ways the story could have gone, and the attention to detail was simply fabulous! Sure, crime fiction readers today are far savvier and more jaded, but still, Christie could still trick anyone unfamiliar with this story, and even if you do know how it ends, it’s still fun to see how she carefully constructed the story, the red herrings, and twists- all ahead of their time. Overall, just the book I needed right now! Highly engrossing and entertaining! *I watched the new HBO version after I finished reading the book- yes-despite the disgraced cast member. I was curious to see how it was presented. Not impressed, though. Stick with the book- and the old film version- which, if memory serves was not half bad.

Book Review 4+ out of 5 stars for Death on the Nile, a Hercule Poirot mystery published in 1937 by Agatha Christie. This is one of Christie's better mysteries, not because of the complexity in the mystery but due to the characters she creates. No one is who they appear to be on this ship, and they are all trapped together. It's nearly 100 years ago, so how could anyone get on or off the boat without the Captain or the rest of the staff in the know? (No, I'm not giving away a spoiler). Poirot is on vacation this time, and he is trying not to work. But when someone turns up dead, he has no choice but to solve this crime. People using different names, a killer trapped with little escape... seems easy to figure out. Add in a bit of archaeological history and all the wonderful things Christie learned on her own Egyptian trips, this is a culture storm waiting to explode. Poirot is at his best, which is usually his most annoying, of times. The upper-class and lower-class exploration in this novel crosses lines many times, as does the affairs or confusion over who is or was previously with someone else romantically. So many clues, so much fun to guess. And the film adaption does a great job at capturing the different personalities. Great one for a beginner to the series!

“Use your eyes. Use your ears. Use your brains---if you've got any. And, if necessary--act.”Another vacation in an exotic locale, another murder to be solved by detective, Hercule Poirot, in Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile. I enjoyed Christie's mystery. Amid excursions to Abu Simbel and other ancient Egyptian sites, Poirot becomes acquainted with his fellow travelers. I liked how Christie used the locale and focused on a smaller set of characters (at least a smaller set than in Murder on the Orient Express) to get at a deeper familiarity of our suspects. Death on the Nile is a quick read and very accessible. I doubt I'll come away being overwhelmed with how Christie uses language or her insight into psychology, but I liked this one. 3.75 stars.

Hercule Poirot, book #17 is one of the most well known Poirot case sees Agatha Christie wield a most wonderful tale of misdirection, red herrings and subterfuge culminating in a death, or maybe even deaths plural, on the River Nile. A truly classic detective story. One of the real highs of the Poirot series. 8 out of 122013 read

An old favourite revisited, Agatha Christie never fails to suck the reader in. Superbly plotted, Death On The Nile is full of intrigue, and you find yourself turning pages long into the night. Few author's today can match the Queen of Crime. Highly recommended.

“Love can be a very frightening thing. That is why most great love stories are tragedies"My first experience with Agatha Christie was actually watching the film adaptation of Death on the Nile from 1978 staring Peter Ustinov. While I do not think of Ustinov as the definitive Poirot by any means, for the longest time his take was how I viewed the character. While this is not a review of the film, I will say that it is a lovely film and well worth a watch. I bring this up though because this one has a special place for me. This was, while not the first Poirot novel I read, it was my first Poirot story. When I finally did read the book, I remembered exactly who did it, and I still loved it.That I think is the sign of a really good mystery novel. Even knowing who did it, why and pretty much exactly what was going to happen over the course of the novel (the film was a very faithful adaptation for the most part) I still enjoyed it from start to finish. I can't think of a better way of recommending it than that. 4/5 stars.

tremendo pero MAL. creo q fue el primer policial q posta te deja flipando a toda hora. me reía cada 2x3 de lo viva q es al escribir y de los comentarios de los personajes. ALTO plot twist al final. epico ePICO. una bestia la agatha christie.+" habría deseado hacerla su esposa, aunque se hubiese tratado de una mendiga en vez de la mujer más rica de Inglaterra. pero afortunadamente era la mujer más rica de Inglaterra"

Four classic Agatha Christie novels, one amateur sleuth. Can I crack ANY of the Christie cases? Only one way to find out ... check out my reading vlog where I read four Agatha Christie mysteries in the hopes of solving at least one: https://youtu.be/iAAZB1ELe9Y

This is only the second time that I read Death on the Nile. I remember the sublime subterfuge of the guilty party, but thought there were only two deaths in the book. In fact there are five deaths and the book has a quite hectic pace.Hercule Poirot refers to previous cases once or twice. In Murder of the Orient Express he absolved the guilty completely. In Death on the Nile, he regrets bringing the murderer to justice, but carries out this task still.The boat on the Nile houses many other characters who serve to camouflage the murderers. Investigation is carried out by Poirot and his temporary sidekick Colonel Race. There is some romance, and there is some sadness in the final revelation. I really enjoyed the book for there is no other book like it. The author was brilliant in imagining this setting. An unconditional 5 stars from me.
