New experience

Che bella esperienza è ascoltare un audiolibro! E questo, letto da David Suchet, è bellissimo. Lui riesce a caratterizzare ogni personaggio con un'intonazione e una voce diversa. Bravissimo. Ovviamente, trattandosi di auntie Agatha, il romanzo è avvincente fino all'ultima parola.

DEATH ON THE NILE 是英國偵探小說家AGATHA CHRISTIE於1937年的作品﹐也是她繼MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS後﹐另一膾炙人口的小說。這部作品曾於1978年被拍成電影﹐奪得多個國際電影獎項﹐包括奧斯卡最佳服裝設計﹐以及金球獎最佳外國電影。

在MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS﹐兇殺案發生在列車車箱﹐而在DEATH ON THE NILE﹐案件就發生在沿尼羅河漫遊的觀光船之上。關於謀殺的動機﹐如書中所說﹐不外乎金錢利益﹑感情糾紛﹑復仇嫉妒﹐而這種種元素﹐CHRISTIE都用上了﹐至於最後兇手是基於那種原因動殺機﹐書中自有分曉。
可能曾經到過埃及遊覽﹐所以在看這個故事時﹐有份親歷其境的感覺。DEATH ON THE NILE故事比MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS多了感情線﹐也比較複雜﹐趣味性不減﹐不過以結果論﹐還是MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS帶點突破性

I should have known I like Christie because her stories are just simply wonderful old-fashioned crime puzzles that make you turn the pages and sigh when everything's finished. There's not much action or focusing to the crime solver's personal life which is fantastic and in a lot of ways works better than the plots of formulaic contemporary crime novels. Also, the time in which the murders are set is part of the appeal to me. For a long time I've adored the tv movies because you could actually see the lovely costumes and the stories came to life. Now I'm really pleased to have finally decided to read the original books.
You might also want to try one of my favourite games, the Orient Express board game if you want to train your "grey brain cells" like Poirot.
