Death on the Nile

This novel is a direct sequel to "Murder on the Orient Express" and is almost equal in quality to the "greatest detective story of all time."

Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, second only to Shakespeare. The circulation of her books is surpassed only by his works and the Bible.

More than a billion copies of Christie's books have been sold in English and just as many in other languages. She is the author of eighty detective novels and short story collections, twenty plays, two memoirs, and six psychological novels written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple have forever become the archetypal heroes of the thriller genre. On the luxurious steamer "Karnak" sailing down the Nile, a young millionaire who recently married and, as it turns out, had many enemies among the passengers, is murdered. Anyone could have killed the self-confident and brazen girl who stole a fiancé from her best friend. But none of the likely suspects committed this crime... Fortunately, the great detective Hercule Poirot is on the steamer; he knows everyone in the cruise party from London and is aware of the potential motives of each person present. And, of course, the first thing the Belgian considers is the "love triangle" consisting of the victim, her new husband, and the very temperamental woman he left for the heiress.
