Hercule Poirot is perhaps Agatha Christie's most interesting and endearing character; short, round, and slightly comical, Poirot has a razor-sharp mind and puts unlimited trust in his "little grey cells." “Death on the Nile must be read twice, once for enjoyment and once to see how the wheels go round” (The Times, London).
