Agatha Christie "Death on The Nile"

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, Lady Mallowan, DBE (née Miller; 15 September 1890 – 12 January
1976) was an English writer known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly
those revolving around fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie was born into a
wealthy upper-middle-class family in Torquay, Devon, and was largely home-schooled.

She also wrote the world's longest-running play, The Mousetrap, which has been performed in the West
End since 1952, as well as six novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. In 1971, she was made a
Dame (DBE) for her contributions to literature. Guinness World Records lists Christie as the best-selling
fiction writer of all time, her novels having sold more than two billion copies.

The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The action takes place in Egypt, mostly on the
River Nile. The novel is unrelated to Christie's earlier short story of the same name, which featured
Parker Pyne as the detective.

Hercule Poirot, where he embarks on a vacation in Egypt, but finds himself solving two murder cases.
Hercule Poirot is a French private investigator that is famous for solving some of the world's most
perplexing mysteries. While he is on vacation and sailing on a river boat up the Nile, he finds himself in
the middle of not one, but actually two murder mysteries.
It all starts when Linnet Ridgeway, one of the richest young ladies in London, steals the fiancé of her best
friend, Jacqueline de Bellefort.
Linnet Ridgeway not only steals Simon Doyle away from her friend Jackie, but she marries Simon and
they head off on their honeymoon to Egypt. In revenge for stealing her man, Jackie starts showing up at
all the locations where the newlyweds are present and harasses them. Coincidentally, Hercule Poirot is
vacationing in Egypt and boards the same ship to sail up the Nile that the Doyles and Jackie de Bellefort
take.
While on board, Jackie shoots Simon Doyle in the leg one night in the saloon. On the same night, Linnet
Doyle is shot in the head while she's sleeping. Hrecule Poirot takes on the case with his friend and fellow
investigator who has come aboard the ship, Colonel Race. During the investigation, two more people are
shot and killed, including Linnet's maid and one of the other passengers, Mrs. Otterbourne. Just in the
nick of time, Hercule Poirot finds the murderers as the ship returns to port and justice triumphs.
