First published in 1937, Death on the Nile features my favorite (ok, only) Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot(#17) and Colonel Race(#3) who have to think fast to solve a slew of terrible crimes with no shortage of suspects.

Linnet Ridgeway was an extremely wealthy young woman who had everything she had ever wanted; everything everyone else would have liked but she didnt have love. So when she married Simon, who had been engaged to one of Linnets closest friends, there was a good deal of animosity. While on their honeymoon, they were on the S.S.

I like to say: See how clever is Hercule Poirot!"Well, this confession from the renowned detective may very well be true, but I admit it is one of the reasons I love him so!
