What happens

Death on the Nile is a mystery novel by British writer Agatha Christie, published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 1 November 1937 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence (7/6)(equivalent to £22 in 2025) and the US edition at $2.00 (equivalent to $45 in 2025). 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 (1933) short story of the same name, which featured Parker Pyne as the detective. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
