A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition (Hercule Poirot Mysteries, 17)
by Agatha Christie
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.
Which of Agatha Christie’s mysteries have you read? Do you have a favorite, and if so, what about it do you like?
I've read many of her novels (And Then There Were None, Orient Express, Death on the Nile, Murder at the Vicarage, etc.). She's a classic. I love Death on the Nile because it was my first Christie and I remember finding her when I was younger.
