Published in 1937, Death on the Nile is among Agatha Christie’s best-loved and most famous works. The sweeping mystery of love, jealousy and betrayal set in Egypt, drew inspiration from Christie’s own travels, as did her 1934 novel Murder on the Orient Express. Similarly, to the 1934 novel, famed fictional detective Hercule Poirot is central to the story.
