When a wealthy heiress is murdered on a Nile River paddleboat, only the great Hercule Poirot can unravel the conflicting alibis and motives of a boatful of suspects to uncover the true killer. One of the greatest Agatha Christie adaptations, DEATH ON THE NILE continued the tradition of the star-studded murder-mystery that was so cleverly created with Murder on the Orient Express in 1974.
