Death on the Nile is a work of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, first 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) and the US edition at $2.00. The full length novel was preceded in 1937 by a short story with the same title, but with Parker Pyne as the detective. The details of the short story plot are substantially different, though the settings and some of the characters are similar. The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The action takes place in Egypt, mostly on the River Nile. The plot reflects the situation of British-ruled Egypt at the time of writing: the book's wide cast of characters consists entirely of Britons and other Europeans, living and (violently) interacting in their own floating enclave, with not a single Arab Egyptian character having any part in the plot..

Nunca havia lido um livro desse gênero. De começo, não estando indo com a cara do livro, principalmente os nomes!!! Pensei, como em sã consciência decoraria todos esses nomes estranhos!!!??? No fim, deu tudo certo. Sobre o livro, talarica tem que morrer mesmo!!!!!! Sobre Poirot? Literalmente eu.
Otherwise very fun!
