Death On The Nile
(Agatha Christie)
Death on the Nile is the title of two works by Agatha Christie. The first is a short story published in 1934 in the volume. The second - and by far the more famous - is a mystery novel published in 1937 featuring the belgian detective Hercule Poirot. In both cases Death on the Nile the action takes place in Egypt.
The beautiful, wealthy Linnet Doyle is one of the travellers on a cruise down the Nile, with her new husband ? the man her best friend, Jackie, was once engaged to. Jackie is also aboard the steamer. Poirot, the detective, senses trouble from day one, so it is no surprise when, before too long, a murderer strikes. One of Christie's longest works, it also remains one of her most artistic and popular novels, and was a favorite of Christie herself. The novel features her famous detective, Hercule Poirot, the brilliant Belgian with the most luxurious moustaches and little grey cells. Undoubtedly one of Christie's most ingenious plots, the book was a runaway success following its publication in 1937.
