Death on the Nile.
A detective novel (1937) by Agatha Christie (1890–1976), involving Hercule POIROT. The setting is a cruise ship and the background stemmed from the author's interest in the work of her archaeologist husband, Max Mallowan (1904–78), whom she married in 1930 after a divorce from her first husband. A film version (1978) was capably directed by John Guillermin and starred Peter Ustinov as Poirot. How to cite this entry:
