Brilliant novel and Great Adaptation. Seriously Under-rated.


I really enjoyed both the novel of 'Endless Night' (apparently it was Mrs. Christie's husband Max Mallowan's favourite novel) and also I loved the movie. Watching it a second time you can see a whole intriguing subplot going on between the main characters of Michael, Greta and Ellie.

However, what I found really interesting was that the plot of 'Endless Night' is really the same plot as 'Death On The Nile' - don't want to spoil the stories for anybody who hasn't seen both films or read both books, but suffice it to say that if you took the main male love interest out of 'Death On the Nile' and gave him a first person narrative voice and twisted the plot slightly you would have 'Endless Night'.

Both wonderful novels/films!
