About this listen

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…

Critic reviews

“The construction is flawless” Daily Mail

“Must be read twice, once for enjoyment and once to see how the wheels go round.” The Times

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

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

I'm a big fan of Hercule Poirot stories and I had read the book before. I bought it because David Suchet was the narrator and wasn't disappointed! After portraying HP for years in the series he can really bring the caracter to life. I enjoyed listening to him so much that I'm looking into other audio books narrated by him. As for the book itself, I always considered it one of Christie's best!

Best audiobook narrating I've ever listened to!

Beautifully read by David Suchet, with the added bonus of a more rounded story than that in the TV version

Superb !
