Death on the Nile
By Agatha Christie
“A top-notch literary brainteaser.” –New York Times
Soon to be a major motion picture sequel to Murder on the Orient Express with a screenplay by Michael Green, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh alongside Gal Gadot—coming February 11, 2022!
Beloved detective Hercule Poirot embarks on a journey to Egypt in one of Agatha Christie’s most famous mysteries.
The tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life.
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 under the searing heat of the Egyptian sun, nothing is ever quite what it seems.
A sweeping mystery of love, jealousy, and betrayal, Death on the Nile is one of Christie’s most legendary and timeless works.
“Death on the Nile is perfect.” —The Guardian
“One of her best. . . . First rate entertainment.” —Kirkus Reviews
A highlight for me was knowing that Agatha Christie wrote the book during a stay at the Old Cataract hotel. We visited this hotel for afternoon tea and it was fantastic to sit out on the veranda looking over the Nile. You could imagine Agatha doing the same from her hotel room with her old fashioned typewriter clicking away!
The discussion in the book over taking a camel journey made me smile and mirrored a similar debate during my small group tour. The comfort of the camel ride as in the book invited many different opinions!"
