Murder Visits Egypt
Hercule Poirot is on vacation in Egypt, just looking to relax. However, he quickly gets involved in the drama involving a young heiress on her honeymoon. When a murder happens on board the ship they are all traveling on, Poirot finds himself drawn into the case. Can he unravel what really happened?

This is classic Agatha Christie with an extremely complex mystery that seems so simple once Poirot unravels it all. I did feel the book took a bit too long to truly get started, opening as it does a few months before the events really began. But once it does, hold on. Some of the supporting cast could have been stronger, but the main characters were all strong and kept me confused until the end. Agatha Christie is still a master of the mystery genre, and this book shows exactly why.

Suspense
A body is found in the middle of a cornfield in Nebraska. Detective Mackenzie White is on the case. All the men are intimidated by her. She is pretty and young. She is good at thinking outside the box and most of the men are older and are stubborn with their old school police work. Not only does she not have the support of her department, but her family also is a mess and doesn't really have anything to do with her and her boyfriend is a man child that doesn't want to move forward with life or the relationship. She believes this a serial killer so the FBI is called to help. It was a good read. Nothing to write home about. It's a typical murder mystery. I would recommend it to someone who wants a short read or is new to thrillers and murder mysteries.
