Death on the Nile (1937) by Agatha Christie (narrated by David Suchet)I was looking for a comfortable book to listen to while I was doing mundane tasks. Something that I had already read and it wouldn't matter if I missed a line here or there. Usually, I choose Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey--but this time I decided to take a little trip to Egypt with another of my favorite sleuths and revisited Death on the Nile. If you'd like to take a look at a more thorough analysis of the story, please see...| MY READER'S BLOCK

Only to find out that Gladstone wants him to work with the poli...| MY READER'S BLOCK
