what I loved about "death on the Nile"

The setting::: I love the 1937 setting on a cruise ship, the river Nile, the deserts and the magnificent Giza pyramids.
The wardrobe::: The costume designer did a wonderful job as all the outfits were beautiful, I love the exclusive dresses and jewelries of the casts especially the red gown worn by Jacqueline de Bellefort.
I don't mind watching this movie once every week, I won't get tired of the suspense.

How it impacted me

The twists and turns left me guessing, when I think I've figured who the killer is, it turns out to be wrong and I'm kept on further suspense, I was hooked till the end. I keep wondering how the writer was able to come up with such twists.

part I found interesting

The whole movie was super interesting but the part where the killer(s) was unravelled gave me the most chills and where Jacqueline de Bellefort shot her lover and herself hasn't left my mind ever since.

performance of the characters

Emma Mackey gave a strong main character energy, a fierce and goal oriented lady although the goal is morally wrong but her performance was extremely impressive, her ability to turn a beautiful smile to a teary and crazy growl while maintaining beauty is undisputed.
