About this eBook

Agatha Christie’s most exotic murder mystery, with a striking new cover to tie in with the highly anticipated 2022 film adaptation.

The tranquillity of a cruise along the Nile is shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway has been shot through the head. She was young, stylish and beautiful, a girl who had everything – until she lost her life.

Hercule Poirot recalls 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 in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems...

Oh, man! I just love this book! This one beats the Murder on the Orient Express. The book's about the murder of a rich, young lady named Linnet Doyle who dies in the middle of the night by a bullet fired through her head. There's an air of tension and suspicion throughout the book. In the beginning, we find many of the characters ruled out and innocent but in the latter part, some of them have petty secrets of their own. The plot progress is brilliant and gripping and the magical part in the last three-four chapters will leave you awestruck. A masterpiece book.

As ever, Hercule Poirot, is outstanding with his masterminding to uncover the murderer's identity, as the truth is quite surprising, knowing that there was so much evidence against almost everyone else. One of the☑️

A beautiful heiress, an opportunistic murder on a boat trip down the Nile, with the usual interesting cast of suspects. Enjoyable.
