Agatha Christie’s most exotic murder mystery, read by Hercule Poirot himself, David Suchet.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 was ever quite what it seemed…“The construction is flawless”Daily Mail“Must be read twice, once for enjoyment and once to see how the wheels go round.” The Times“The main alibi is of the first brilliance … the descriptive work hits, as it were, the Nile on the head.” Observer“A peach of a case for Poirot. I take my hat off to the author for as ingenious an alibi as can well be imagined.” Sunday TimesAgatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.Requires internet connection for purchase, plus iPod or other Audible-compatible player or iTunes software on Mac OS X or Windows• Read by David Suchet, widely recognised as the voice of Hercule Poirot Competition: Murder Under the Sun ;Death on the Nile; The Mysterious Affair at Styles; Evil Under the Sun; Last Seance; Bodies from the Library; Midwinter Murder; Midsummer Mysteries. by Ann Cleeves; Freeman Wills Crofts ;Arthur Conan Doyle; Dean Koontz; Lucy Foley; Sophie Hannah; Lucy Clarke; Val Mcdermid; Nina de Gramont
