👶👶 Death on the Nile, by Agatha Kristie

I remember enjoying Agatha Christie movies growing up, so when Audible offered this book for such a steal, I thought I might take a listen. This book was narrated differently than most books, as it was presented as more of a dramatization. The actors did a fine job, but the story itself was predictable, and dare I say, mundane. I almost feel irreverent criticizing a novel by the great Agatha Christie; but I can only attribute it to the fact that the material is rather dated, and the whodunit aspect of the novel, a bit unimaginative. Having said that, Ms. Christie was likely one of the first to come up with that now-exhausted story-line, back in 1960. So, maybe I should revise my critique by saying that perhaps the authors that followed her with the same plot were unoriginal. It is only modern-day readers that would dare share this critique about a book by such a revered author.
