Summary

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 main alibi is of the first brilliance … the descriptive work hits, as it were, the Nile on the head.” Observer

Awful voices

Great story but a lot of the voices were very irritating done in a grating voice. Colonel Race one of the worst.

Not the best voice for narration

But great story line! Some of the voices he puts on for the characters are painful to listen to but it didn't mar my enjoyment too much.

One of Chritie's Best

Narration was superb (of course considering it was David Suchet!) and the story is excellent. A book that will be a joy to read or listen to by anyone.

A few bugs

Story is excellent but seems to be a sound issue in chapter 6. You can hear everything it just sounds like you are in a tunnel
