內容簡介
Agatha Christie’s most exotic murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.
The tranquillity of a cruise along the Nile is shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway has been shot through the head. She was young, stylish and beautiful, a girl who had everything – until she lost her life.
Hercule Poirot recalls 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 is ever quite what it seems…
琳內特·裏奇衛擁有一切——年輕、美貌、過人的頭腦,而且還繼承瞭巨額財産。但齣乎所有人的意料,她閃電般地與自己的地産經紀人,也就是好友奎傑琳的男友多伊爾結瞭婚。婚後幸福的二人決定去埃及度蜜月。決意復仇的傑奎琳、偷偷在琳內特財産上做瞭手腳的律師,以及其他許多似乎是外人的遊客,與他們登上瞭同一條船。
在尼羅河上,慘案發生瞭,一顆子彈貫穿瞭熟睡中的琳內特的頭顱……
