Poirot solves a case full of uncooperative witnesses and a pile of clues that don’t make sense, but not before tragedy strikes again. When the heiress is indeed killed with said pistol, it turns out that Jackie has a perfect alibi. Meanwhile, Poirot gradually discovers that basically every passenger has a motive to dispose of Linnet. She confides to Poirot that she fantasizes killing Linnet while brandishing her pearl-handled. Jackie decides to wreak her revenge by following the couple on their honeymoon trip. Linnet Ridgeway is a shrewd, proud and exceptionally wealthy heiress who shocks the tabloids by marrying Simon Doyle, the fiancé of her impoverished (and extremely intense) best friend Jacqueline de Bellefort. Death on the Nile is one of the many novels in which Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot attempts to take a (lavishly described) luxury vacation, only to be conscripted into solving multiple murders. ![]()
