Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile
General Tips:
————-
Submitted by: David K
* Think outside the box. For example, if duck is on your list, it could
refer to a rubber ducky, a wooden carving of a duck, or a roast duck on
someone’s dinner plate Visit the salon at regular intervals during an
investigation. Sometimes finding new clues will open up new questions
for Poirot to ask.
* All of the items to find are historically accurate to the early 20th-
century time period in which the book took place, which requires a bit of
an adjustment in thinking. For example, if car is on your list of items
to find, you should be looking for an old-fashioned Model T Ford type of
vehicle; if you’re looking for a music stand, expect to see an old ornate
wooden one instead of the black metal variety; and a bathing suit will be
a modest black affair, not a sexy bikini!
