A CONSPIRACY OF BONES

by Kathy Reichs ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 17, 2020

Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival.

Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.

A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been. Showboat Medical Examiner Margot Heavner makes it clear that, breaking with her department’s earlier practice ( The Bone Collection , 2016, etc.), she has no intention of calling in Tempe as a consultant and promptly identifies the faceless body herself as that of a young Asian man. Nettled by several errors in Heavner’s analysis, and even more by her willingness to share the gory details at a press conference, Tempe launches her own investigation, which is not so much off the books as against the books. Heavner isn’t exactly mollified when Tempe, aided by retired police detective Skinny Slidell and a host of experts, puts a name to the dead man. But the hints of other crimes Tempe’s identification uncovers, particularly crimes against children, spur her on to redouble her efforts despite the new M.E.’s splenetic outbursts. Before he died, it seems, Felix Vodyanov was linked to a passenger ferry that sank in 1994, an even earlier U.S. government project to research biological agents that could control human behavior, the hinky spiritual retreat Sparkling Waters, the dark web site DeepUnder, and the disappearances of at least four schoolchildren, two of whom have also turned up dead. And why on earth was Vodyanov carrying Tempe’s own contact information? The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs. Fraud. Breaking and entering. Arson. Kidnapping. How does attempted murder sound?”

A suspenseful, professional-grade north country procedural whose heroine, a deft mix of compassion and attitude, would be...

Box takes another break from his highly successful Joe Pickett series ( Stone Cold , 2014, etc.) for a stand-alone about a police detective, a developmentally delayed boy, and a package everyone in North Dakota wants to grab.

Cassandra Dewell can’t leave Montana’s Lewis and Clark County fast enough for her new job as chief investigator for Jon Kirkbride, sheriff of Bakken County. She leaves behind no memories worth keeping: her husband is dead, her boss has made no bones about disliking her, and she’s looking forward to new responsibilities and the higher salary underwritten by North Dakota’s sudden oil boom. But Bakken County has its own issues. For one thing, it’s cold—a whole lot colder than the coldest weather Cassie’s ever imagined. For another, the job she turns out to have been hired for—leading an investigation her new boss doesn’t feel he can entrust to his own force—makes her queasy. The biggest problem, though, is one she doesn’t know about until it slaps her in the face. A fatal car accident that was anything but accidental has jarred loose a stash of methamphetamines and cash that’s become the center of a battle between the Sons of Freedom, Bakken County’s traditional drug sellers, and MS-13, the Salvadorian upstarts who are muscling in on their territory. It’s a setup that leaves scant room for law enforcement officers or for Kyle Westergaard, the 12-year-old paperboy damaged since birth by fetal alcohol syndrome, who’s walked away from the wreck with a prize all too many people would kill for.

Book and Author History

First published in 1937 in the United Kingdom, the novel was well received. It was a brilliant mystery novel that had more murders than your typical Christie novel. The novel has been adapted into a play, a movie, a radio show, a video game, and even a graphic novel.

Besides her writing, Christie is also famous for an incident where she disappeared for 11 days in 1926 because of her marriage.

Christie took part in both World Wars and served in hospital dispensaries where she learned about poisons which have been featured in her books often. Her second marriage to to archaeologist Max Mallowan in 1930 led to her learning a bunch of new things that made it into in her books.

Agatha Christie is the most translated individual author according to UNESCO. Her novel And Then There Were None is one of the highest selling novels of all time with over a 100 million copies sold. Christie’s stage play The Mousetrap holds the record for the longest initial run.

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie (book review) – Poirot not-so-much on holiday in Egypt

Agatha Christie came across in my life at different moments. First I saw my brother reading her stories, years ago. Then I went to see two of her plays (I wrote about them here – The Mousetrap & And Then There Were None ). After watching the plays I actually wrote a blog post about interesting facts from Christie’s life . I also saw the “Murder on the Orient Express” movie. And finally, I ended up reading one of her books – “Death on the Nile” – recommended by Diana from Thoughts on Papyrus .

Death on the Nile in a nutshell

The book is a detective story. It focuses on solving the mystery around a death that happened during a cruise on the Nile, in Egypt. The plot revolves around a rich and famous woman, caught in a romantic triangle. The other passengers of the ship … well, they all look normal on the outside, but weird and untrustworthy on the inside. Luckily, detective Hercule Poirot is on board of the ship, on holiday – the right man at the right place 🙂

An interesting fact is that Agatha Christie wrote the story inspired by her visits to Egypt – first she went for 3 months in Cairo at the age of 20, then later she spent 20 years in Middle East area with her husband, who was an archaeologist.

Overall impression

I enjoyed a lot reading “Death on the Nile” – it is a page turner, and I am happy I read it on holiday because I had time and energy to delve into it and finish it very quickly. It certainly made me curious to read more stories by Agatha Christie!

Given the title of the book, I was expecting the death to happen at the beginning of the book and the story to be more about solving it. But it does not happen that way, and I find rather interesting how Agatha Christie built the structure of the story line. First the reader has time to get to know the characters and create his/her own opinion on them (guided by the narrator). So when the death actually happens, the reader can already have a guess and get “involved” in solving the mystery. And I find that brilliant!

Hercule Poirot

Reading “Death on the Nile” was actually my first encounter with Hercule Poirot as character. Overall I liked him – he’s a witty guy, bit drama queen at times, but efficient in solving the mystery while also keeping the an air of suspense. However, I was not impressed … maybe because I already saw the Sherlock BBC series, and I am more of a Sherlock fan. But I can imagine meeting Poirot 10-15 years ago and being totally hooked!

Egypt memories

After I started reading the book I realized that I visited Egypt (more than 15 years ago) and I also went on a cruise on the Nile during that holiday! So at times I had déjà vu feelings, for instance during the visit to Abu Simbel temple. It is an interesting experience to read a book that takes place in a setting you’ve visited, it is much easier to imagine the action and to relate to the characters.

Movie coming soon

Exciting times are coming – a modern version of the “Death on the Nile” movie will be released this autumn! Despite already knowing the story, I am very much looking to see the play transposed to film. The story is rich in details and has many characters, so I think is has potential to be a successful movie.

Below is the trailer of the movie, if you’re interesting to take a look.

To conclude, I do recommend reading “Death on the Nile” by Agatha Christie if you’re into detective mysteries or if you are looking for a captivating book during your holiday. While not being a “heavy” read, it is a witty mystery story that will keep you hooked until the final page.

What book(s) by Agatha Christie should I read next? What would be your top 3 recommendations?

‘Till next time … happy reading!

Book Review: Death on the Nile

DEATH ON THE NILE | Agatha Christie (Hercule Poirot #17) 02.01.2011 (first published 1937) | Wi lliam Morrow Rating: 4/5 stars

Hercule Poirot has set off on what is supposed to be a tranquil cruise along the Nile, but what he finds is a murderer in his midst. Linnet Ridgeway has been shot through the head. This young, beautiful, and extremely wealthy socialite was aboard to celebrate her honeymoon. It seemed she had everything until she was struck dead. Who could have wanted to kill this woman?

I first read DEATH ON THE NILE when I was in my teens and absolutely adored it. Agatha Christie has the ability to continually captivate me, as I was once again swept up in this murderous delight set in Egypt.

Similar to a lot of other Christie books, DEATH ON THE NILE opens by introducing the reader to what will become our entire cast of characters throughout the novel. I love how in this story she breaks down all of their potential connections and motivations for being on a Nile cruise. It was so fun to have early suspicions about some of the characters well before anyone was even murdered!

DEATH ON THE NILE showcases Christie’s ability to truly layer a story with complex character interactions unfolding to reveal more and more details. It’s easy to feel as though you know exactly who must be the murderer in this book, but don’t ever take anything in a Christie novel for face value! There is always something more waiting on the next page!

I did manage to figure out part of the ending to this one, which is likely because the further I got into the story, the more I remembered from my first time through many years ago. I promise that didn’t stop me from being surprised by a multitude of other grand reveals by Poirot! As usual, I loved his methodical path to deduction and was quite pleased with the way things wrapped up.

DEATH ON THE NILE is a great place to start for any newbie Christie reader despite being further along in her series of Poirot books.

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie| Book Review

Posted by: Editor January 25, 2014 in Books , English , Popular Leave a comment Updated: June 7, 2014

Published in 1937, “Death on the Nile” describes an exciting adventure that Hercule Poirot gets entangled into without planning.

Young, beautiful, rich, charming and her own mistress, Linnet Ridgeway seems to have it all. In addition to her looks and money, she also has brains which she employs in understanding and partly managing her late father’s business. It is only a matter of few months before she will be running the business by herself. It is no surprise that she is coveted by many. But, Linnet has not found her man yet. Her old friend Jacqueline aka Jackie asks a favour from her. While Linnet’s parents left piles of money for her when they died, Jackie’s parents left her penniless. Jackie’s boyfriend Simon has lost his job and Linnet agrees to employ him.

Poirot notices Jackie and Simon, as they are celebrating the new job in a London night club, especially because of the passionate way that Jackie clings on to Simon. But, in a very short period of time, Simon dumps Jackie and marries Linnet instead. Ah well, she just seems irresistible.

Generally, this should be the end of Jackie and Simon’s story. But, it isn’t. Poirot, on a holiday in Egypt, meets Mr. Simon Doyle and Linnet, who have come for their honeymoon. Poirot also witnesses a very ‘not-friendly’ encounter between Jackie and the young couple. Later Linnet confides in him that Jackie has been stalking them ever since their marriage and it is getting on her nerves. Poirot talks to Jackie and tries to convince her that her course of action will only give her pain. But, Jackie is burning up with jealousy. She confesses that she wants to kill Linnet and also shows Poirot a pistol that she has been carrying around.

Death On The Nile – First Edition Cover (Year: 1937)

In an attempt to dodge Jackie, the Doyles go on a cruise on river Nile. However, to their immense unease they discover that Jackie is also on the ship. The first warning comes when Linnet is victim of a boulder falling off a cliff during one of the sight-seeing tours. Luckily she escapes narrowly. Meanwhile, Poirot’s old friend Colonel Race joins the cruise as part of hunt for an infamous killer, who is supposedly travelling on this cruise with a false identity. In addition to the Doyles, Poirot and Jackie following passengers are on the cruise:

Salome Otterbourne and her daughter Rosalie : Rosalie is always in a bad mood and is intensely jealous of Linnet. In her opinion, its not fair that any one person should have such good luck.
Mrs. Allerton and her son Tim . Tim has a cousin who is close acquaintance of Linnet, and between them they have cooked up some fishy scheme regarding Linnet.
Andrew Pennington , who is a trustee of Linnet’s father’s money in America. He is dodgy and trying to cover up what he did with her money. He specially came to Egypt to corner Linnet when he received news about her marriage.
Marie Van Schuyler , an American lady, her cousin Cornelia Robson and her nurse Miss Bowers. Cornelia’s father lost everything because of Linnet’s father and the girl is being treated very rudely by her rich cousin.
Mr. Ferguson , an outspoken communist, who openly hates a rich heiress like Linnet.
An Italian archaeologist, Guido Richetti . By mistake, Linnet opens a telegram addressed to him making him extensively angry.
James Fanthorp , a solicitor from Linnet’s trustees in London. He suspects Andrew Pennington but refrains from saying anything.
Dr. Bessner , a Central European physician.

The tragedy starts when that night Jackie gets drunk and attacks Simon with her pistol. Cornelia and Mr. Fanthorp are in the room and they help in putting Jackie away with the nurse and Simon who is shot in leg with Dr. Bessner. But, in all this excitement, Jackie’s pistol is lost. Next morning, Linnet is found shot dead in her bed. While Jackie appears as the prime suspect, herself and Simon, both were out of action for the night and have iron-clad alibis.

Poirot starts the investigation, and one after another, the secrets start to pop-out. Everyone on the cruise has something to hide and most of them seem to have a reason to murder Linnet. To make matters worse, two more murders follow that of Linnet as her maid Louise and later Mrs. Otterbourne are killed just when they are about to divulge some information. Eventually, we find an alcoholic, a kleptomaniac, a blackmailer, a thief and a swindler, but alas, none of them have killed Linnet.

As the mystery appears to deepen, it takes all Poirot’s genius to unmask the daring and highly resourceful criminal who devised a brilliant scheme to murder Linnet. However, crime never pays and finally Poirot does reveal the murderer.

A must read for all crime thriller lovers………

Yipee ki-yay, motherbooker

Swearing, rants, reviews, on every level, book review – death on the nile by agatha christie.

October is over halfway through and I’ve just finished my third Agatha Christie book of the month. I was hoping to be a bit further ahead at this point but the last couple of weeks haven’t been good for reading. I’m on holiday now and I’m planning on getting as much done as possible. Even if I don’t get any other Christie books read before Halloween (even though I definitely will have to read And Then There Were None for my book club), I have achieved the one thing I wanted. I’ve reread Death on the Nile before Kenny B brings his film out. You can see why it was the second in this latest series of adaptations. It’s one of the first murder mysteries that most people think of when they think of the Queen of Crime. You can definitely see why. As murders go, this is pretty memorable.

People murder, we are told by Agatha Christie’s famous Belgian detective, for many different reasons. The most common being money. When the young and very wealthy socialite Linnet Ridgeway is found dead on her honeymoon, money is certainly a potential cause. However, Hercule Poirot would also list “revenge—and love, and fear, and pure hate, and beneficence” as possible motivations to kill. Considering Linnet had recently married her best friend’s fiancé, it’s entirely likely that revenge is the key to her death. Especially as Jacqueline, the injured party has been following them wherever they go.

Luckily, or unluckily, Hercule Poirot is also holidaying in Egypt. He and the troubled trio end up on a steam cruiser travelling up the Nile. Of course, when Linnet is found dead, suspicion immediately falls on Jacqueline. After all, only a few days later, she told the detective that she wanted to put her gun against Linnet’s head and pull the trigger. It seems as though there is only one explanation. However, Jackie has an airtight alibi for the night, as does Linnet’s husband, Simon. With the two most obvious suspects out of the picture, who on board was capable of killing the young heiress?

There is a reason that Death on the Nile is one of Christie’s most popular and well-known stories. It is an intricately plotted mystery. Right from the start, the most obvious solutions are proved to be incorrect. It’s a clever tale that sets you off in all sorts of directions before making the reveal feel so obvious. It doesn’t quite have the impact of And Then There Were None , Roger Aykroyd , or Murder on the Orient Express . Although, there is a certain satisfaction in seeing all of the strands come together.

The greatest joy in reading a Poirot story is watching the great detective do what he does best. We see him conducting his investigation by interviewing all of the other passengers about the night of the murder. Luckily, Poirot and the troubled trio were joined on their journey by a host of interesting and mysterious characters. Every single one of them is hiding something and plenty of them seem to have a reason for wanting Linnet dead. As ever, Christie’s characters are fascinating. She understands their motivations and their social need to hide things.

When it comes down to it, Death on the Nile is obviously a fantastic novel but I can’t put it in quite the same league as some of her other novels. There is something a little messy about the ending and the plan isn’t quite as foolproof as the book tries to make up think. I also feel as though this novel suffers from Christie’s romanticising of Egypt. I get that it meant a lot to her personally but it doesn’t always aid the plot. The whole thing takes a bit of time to really get going which means the pace feels a bit off at the start. However, it’s shrewdly plotted and showcases the writer’s unique talent for creating captivating crime novels.

Death on the Nile: A Book review

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie has been on TBR forever now and I finally had the opportunity to read it. And incidentally I got to watch the 1978 adaptation soon after. How did that turn for me? Read my book review of Death on the Nile to know more

About Death on the Nile

Book Name: Death on the Nile

Author: Agatha Christie

Genre: Fiction – Thriller Classics

Characters: Colonel Race, Simon Doyle, Hercule Poirot, Linnet Ridgeway, Jacqueline de Bellefort, Mrs. Allerton, Tim Allerton, Dr. Carl Bessner, Miss Bowers, Jim Fanthorp, Ferguson, Salomè Otterbourne, Rosalie Otterbourne, Andrew Pennington, Cornelia Robson, Marie Van Schuyler, Joanna Southwood

Setting: Egypt

Plot Summary of Death on the Nile

Death on the Nile is set on the streets of Egypt and features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who is on an adventurous trip full of action in Egypt. While he is on vacation in Egypt and is sailing on a river boat on the river Nile, he finds himself in the middle of two murder mysteries.

The book focuses on 4 major themes:

good will always conqueror evil
things are not as they appear on the surface
greed and revenge are not justified
Every individual has a choice between right and wrong.

The book takes a bit of time to set up all the characters and laying out the plot. The murder doesn’t occur until the mid-point of the book and this keeps the readers involved and curious.

Each one of the characters in the book has a motive and each one of them has secrets of their own. And it doesn’t come as a surprise that Christie does a great job on the red herrings.

Hercule Poirot was much more lighthearted in this story and also made little jokes about him which added a different look to his character.

Bottom-line

The book is a complete feast for the book lovers as it is really going to stick with you till the last word. Read the book yourself and awaken the hidden detective in you.

Book Review: The Fourth Monkey Killer

30 Comments

I love Agatha Christie’s novels! I just admire her for creating each and every character in such detail that they feel real and it sends me right in that setting – I always try to outsmart Poirot and I fail almost every time.

I think I enjoy her novels with Miss Marple more though, because I just love that old lady!

I do the same with all the thrillers, trying to find out the bad guy and often I do win.

What a great guest post! I love murder mystery books. I’ve never read anything by Agatha Christie but have only heard great things. I hope you can get everything in order soon!

Book Review of Death On the Nile

Lynn's review.

Death On the Nile was published in 1937. It is another very well-known Agatha Christie book. It is about love, betrayal, and death on a luxury cruise on the Nile.

I think this is my favorite Agatha Christie book so far that I have read. I loved the writing and the characters. This one had a couple different mysteries going on and I really enjoyed that. This book kept me thinking.

I listened to it on audio and I thought the narrator did a good job.

I can’t wait to read more Agatha Christie books!
