Linnet Ridgeway - Death on the Nile, 2022

[rileychester]

So I just started Death On The Nile, and I have noticed something. It's also something I have picked up in Christie's other books.

So Simon was engaged to Jackie and then dumped her quickly and married her insanely rich friend Linnet.

Most of the comments are about how vile and backstabbing Linnet is to steal Simon away from Jackie. Most of the blame for what happened is thrown at her.

But Simon doesn't get attacked as much and slides by mostly undamaged.

Now I know how Christie's husband cheated on her and left her for another woman. So I understand her bitterness and contempt for the other women in stories.

You would think Simon, the man who abandoned and betrayed Jackie for Linnet's millions, would get a lot more of the blame. Yet he sails through.

And I will admit, it does vex me.

Having two women fighting over a man who isn't worthy of either woman. Throwing hatred at each other and just excusing his behavior.

May: Gold & Silver

Death on the Nile / Gal Gadot as Linnet Ridgeway (later Doyle)

Linnet wears this glamorous silver dress for her first appearance, establishing her as a wealthy style icon. The skirt is made of chiffon or some similar material in silver-grey, while the bodice is of silver lame with strips of the same material hanging down over the skirt. The construction of the bodice is quite intricate, with triangular insets just under the bust in front and a low back with a hanging loop of fabric that looks forward to 1940s styles. (For comparison, see the coat that goes with Ginger Rogers' pink dress from The Barkleys of Broadway in 1949.) The "lift" photo shows that this loop swings freely.

There is a matching shoulder cape as well, but we never get a good look at it, as she removes it immediately upon entering the club. Otherwise, she keeps accessories to a minimum: silver pumps, small earrings (pearl?), and a rather nice bracelet (see below).

So if you don't feel safe with any of the people you invited to your honeymoon cruise because you think they're only after your money, why would your dumbass then go to to bed before everyone else AND take a sleeping pill on top of that ???
