In Death on the Nile, a seemingly idyllic cruise along the Nile River turns sinister when a wealthy heiress is found murdered.

As he investigates, he encounters a cast of characters, each with their own secrets and desires.

Agatha Christie skillfully crafts a narrative that explores themes of love, greed, and revenge, all while showcasing the beauty and allure of the Nile. This classic tale is a testament to Christie's ability to create unforgettable characters and intricate plots that captivate audiences across generations.
