Inferences
Part 1- I think that all of the different people will meet up in Egypt.
Chapter 2- I think that Simon and Linnet are engaged behind Jackie's back. Chapter 3- I predict that Jackie is going to do revenge to Linnet. Chapter 4- Linnet is trying to get Hercule Poirot on her side so that he will be with her. Chapter 5- I predict that Hercule Poirot will go with Linnet because she seems to the truth and she is very beautiful. Chapter 6- I think that Simon thinks that Hercule Poirot is getting on his nerve and basically stalking him. Chapter 7- I think that Linnet is getting worried about Jackie and Simon and what they are getting weird about. Simon is getting creepy around money and Jackie is stalking Linnet. Chapter 8- I predict that Hercule Poirot is trying to guide Jackie in the right direction and she wants to do revenge to Linnet and Simon for what they have done. Chapter 9- I think that Hercule Poirot is glad that he isn't young because he doesn't have to deal with all of the drama and stress when you are young. Especially with Linnet, Jackie, and Simon. Chapter 10- I predict that Simon was shocked because he thought that Jackie was the one who pushed the rock off of the temple, but she was just coming off of the boat so it wasn't her. Chapter 11- I predict that Hercule Poirot asked Mrs. Allerton to define that word because he predict and fears that that is what will happen. Chapter 12- I think that Jackie kicked the gun under the couch because she can retrieve the gun once Simon is taken care of and kill Linnet. Chapter 13- I think that Jackie committed the murderer of Linnet Doyle because no one would expect it to be her because no one writes their own initial on the wall. Chapter 14- I predict that Louise is the one that stole the pearls because she said the wrong answer when Hercule Poirot asked her to say were the pearls were and she also was the first one in the room besides the murderer. Chapter 15- I think that Louise and Tim stole the pearls and split the money because no one would have guessed Tim as a back up. Chapter 16- I predict that Hercule Poirot is going to guess that someone that did all of the events so that it would make sense. Chapter 17- I think that Pennington did the murderer of Linnet Doyle because he already knew Linnet before the cruise and he has her papers on file. Chapter 18- I think that Hercule Poirot is trying to tell Colonel Race that she had no right to die. Chapter 19- I think that Rosalie saw the murderer but didn't want to give it away because then she would get in trouble. Chapter 20- Since Ms. Bowers returned the pearls, I think that she was the one who stole them. Chapter 21- I predict that Linnet brought the fake pearls on the trip. So that the real ones wouldn't get stolen. Chapter 22- I think that Louise is under her bed dead because she most likely stole Linnet's pearls and so she knew that Hercule Poirot and Colonel Race were looking for whoever stole the pearls and she most likely thought that she would be better off dead. Chapter 23- I think that Roaslie has something to do with the fact that Louise is dead because she trembled when she told Hercule Poirot that she saw no one kill Louise. Chapter 24- I think that Rosalie and Andrew are working together to kill Linnet and Louise. Chapter 25- I think that Ms. Van Schuyler is going to do something to insure that Cornelia and Mr. Ferguson don't get married. Chapter 26- Andrew Pennington said that he could get nothing from Linnet so why would he murder her. That is why he would murder her because he would have the chance to steal her pearls. Chapter 27- I think that Rosalie is going to kill Tim, that is why she started weeping when she said that Tim is always nice to her. Chapter 28- I think that more than one person took part in the three murders. Singor Richetti is one of them. I think that Simon Doyle is the other. Chapter 29- When Hercule Poirot says that he wants to have a word with Dr. Bessener's patient I think that he is going to talk to Simon Doyle and spill the beans that he and Jackie are the killers of Linnet Doyle. Chapter 30- Hercule Poirot walks out of Jackie's cabin with laughter in his ears. Jackie might get out of being in trouble because Hercule Poirot likes her thinking. Chapter 31- I think that Jackie shot herself because she wanted to be out of this mess. |
