Agatha - Christie - Death On The Nile -poirot-.pdf

“I do not need to leave the boat. The crime is here. The solution is here.”

Unlike the hardboiled detectives of American fiction who rely on fists and firearms, Poirot relies on psychology. He is a detective of the mind. Death on the Nile is perhaps the finest example of Poirot’s method: he does not hunt for clues so much as he hunts for the nature of the crime. He understands that the murder is not an isolated event but a disruption of the moral order. Agatha Christie - Death On The Nile -Poirot-.pdf
