Death on the Nile A Hercule Poirot Mystery
The tranquillity of a 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 in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems.
Why we picked this
This is one of those classic mysteries that completely transports you. Between the glamorous trip down the Nile and the colorful cast of characters it's easy to see why this book has stood the test of time. What I wouldn't give to spend an afternoon with Detective Poirot.
