Widely disliked and envied, the young woman is soon discovered by Poirot to have had plenty of enemies, many of whom turn out to be on board. While I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, I must say that the previous part felt more interesting, the murder happened quicker in the Murder on the Orient Express (therefore it was more tense) and more importantly it's way easier to guess who the murderer is in Death on the Nile is, after you see the clues shown (I have correctly predicted who the killer is around 30 minutes before end of the movie, in previous part it wasn't obvious at all).
