Death on the Nile
Book 15 of the Hercule Poirot series
Heiress Linnet Ridgeway is murdered during a honeymoon cruise along the Nile after marrying the former fiancé of her closest friend. Poirot finds the boat crowded with passengers carrying resentments, financial needs, and carefully protected secrets. The confined journey allows alibis and emotions to be examined against a dramatic Egyptian landscape. Glamorous and tragic, this mystery suits a travel-day read for fans of romantic jealousy, closed-circle puzzles, elegant settings, and crimes whose planning cannot erase their emotional origin.
