The first mystery I read in one sitting, when I was thirteen. The characters jump off the page. I must admit, I was totally blindsided by the reveal at the end of who the murderer really was. Go, Agatha!

Yes, starting from the first page with the “scarlet Rolls Royce” driving through a quaint village, that holds a gorgeous American heiress. Death on the Nile is the ultimate style novel for Christie, where she fuses a genius mystery (I believe she’s mining Wings of a Dove here with the plot) with a decadent foreign location (the Karnak! The Nile!) and the most eccentric characters. An ultimate Agatha, and it was a huge influence on me to travel the world. Plus, it’s pure Poirot.
