I’m a big fan of Death on the Nile in all of its incarnations-book, 1978 movie that stars Peter Ustinov as Poirot (and includes names like Angela Lansbury, Mia Farrow, and Maggie Smith), and the 2004 ITV Poirot journey down the Nile with David Suchet (and Emily Blunt as Linnet!).

Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: “I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.” Yet in this exotic setting nothing was ever quite what it seemed.

Recent scholarly work has been almost entirely riveted on nationalist prints, and much of it has focused on the idea of Bharat Mata, but this book seeks to furnish a more rounded account of the artwork-including etchings, paintings, woodblocks prints, and cartoons-contemporary to the freedom struggle and also highlights the work of neglected artists such as Babuji Shilpi, S.L. The book explores not merely how Indian printmakers and artists responded to the freedom struggle but rather how the art they fashioned invoked their own conception of the nation, their sense of the past, and the contours of the movement for India’s emancipation from the yoke of colonial oppression.

The rules of the cosy mystery genre state that there should be no on-page sex or violence, the detective is an amateur sleuth and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community.
