A-Z ... DEATH ON THE NILE



For 2012's A-Z challenge, I'm doing an A-Z list of books I haven't yet read but want to read (titles taken from my TBR shelf at GoodReads). For my book starting with D I've chosen...

Death on the Nile - Agatha Christie

Poirot, on vacation in Africa, meets the rich, beautiful Linnet Doyle and her new husband, Simon. As usual, all is not as it seems between the newlyweds, and when Linnet is found murdered, Poirot must sort through a boatload of suspects to find the killer before he (or she) strikes again.

Why do I want to read it? I've never read ANY Agatha Christie, and it's definitely something I intend to do before I die. ;)

  1. Okay, I totally read that as Death on the Line, not Nile and I began thinking of quotes from the Princess Bride. I've never read any of Agatha Christie either, but she is famous for her mysteries.

  11. You have to read it! I actually HAD to read it in 10th grade for English, and I loved it. It's classic Agatha Christie.

    Here from the A-Z Challenge - nice to "meet" you!
