Death on the Nile (Poirot)

Product Information

Christie often stayed at Abney Hall in Cheshire, which was owned by her brother-in-law, James Watts. She based at least two of her stories on the hall: the short story The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, and the novel After the Funeral. Abney Hall became Agatha's greatest inspiration for country-house life, with all the servants and grandeur which have been woven into her plots. Fleetwood is an engineer on the Karnak who attempted to marry one of Linnet’s old chambermaids, despite the fact that he was already married to an Egyptian woman. Linnet intervened to stop the marriage, angering…

During a stop on the Nile voyage, when the passengers disembark to see some ruins, a boulder falls (or perhaps is pushed) from a cliff, nearly crushing Linnet. Poirot and others immediately suspect Jacqueline, but soon after Poirot sees her coming off the steamer, meaning she couldn’t possibly have pushed the boulder. Actually more than one funeral, but I don't want to spoil too much for those of you who haven't read this book yet. The open and shut case becomes quite complicated because there is one man on the boat who weighs all the evidence and sifts all the minutia to find the sands of truth. Hercule Poirot knows what he likes and what he does not. He has impeccable manners even when he is accusing someone of...murder. If people conducted their business in the Poirot manner, it would be a much less chaotic world. ”But to succeed in life every detail should be arranged well beforehand.” Death on the Nile was turned into a hidden object PC game, Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile, in 2007 by Flood Light Games, and published as a joint venture between Oberon Games and Big Fish Games. [10] The player takes the role of Hercule Poirot as he searches various cabins of the Karnak for clues, and questions suspects based on information he finds. Poirot does his Poirot thing and it seems anybody could have killed Linnet, but fingers soon point to Linnet's godmother Marie Van Schuyler (Jennifer Saunders) after the gun is recovered from the ocean floor wrapped in Marie's scarf.The Sittaford Mystery - Why Didn't They Ask Evans? - And Then There Were None - Death Comes as the End - Sparkling Cyanide - Crooked House - They Came to Baghdad - Destination Unknown - The Pale Horse - Endless Night - Passenger to Frankfurt The characters are mostly spoiled, bored, wealthy and grasping, seething with resentments, both real and imagined. Finally, Poirot reveals what really happened in the murder of Linnet. Simon and Jacqueline never ceased to be lovers, and they planned the crime, with Jacqueline as the mastermind and Simon carrying it out. In fact, Jacqueline is a good shot who purposely missed hitting Simon’s leg when she shot at him. He then faked being injured using a handkerchief (which was recovered in the stole with the pistol) and red dye (which he kept in the Rose nail polish bottle in Linnet’s cabin). While Fanthorp and Cornelia left Simon alone, thinking he couldn’t move because of his injured leg, in fact, Simon carried out the murder, writing the J himself, then shooting himself in the leg (attempting to use the stole as a silencer), before throwing the pistol overboard.

Poirot can't enjoy a holiday when the girl who has it all ends up dead. A slow to start mystery, not as tightly construed as And Then There Were None, but definitely obsessively readable. While the sweeping changes to Death on the Nile's original story are not always for the better, Branagh's film successfully translates the best element of Christie's book. Death on the Nile does a phenomenal job of weaving Christie's original mystery through its new characters while still retaining the key plot beats that made Christie's murder mystery such a smash hit in 1937. This arrives in the form of Jacqueline and Simon remaining the scheming villains who attempt to steal Linnet’s money in an almost perfect play-by-play from Agatha Christie's murder mystery.

Initially, he dislikes Hercule Poirot with an intensity that surprises his mother… I watched the first movie adaptation (1978) with Peter Ustinov( he’s brilliant actor but I still loved Albert Finney’s portrait more) Betty Davis, Angela Lansbury and Mia Farrow. The casting is remarkable and the fast pacing and twisty script was true reflection of the story’s essence. Another film adaptation, also called Death on the Nile, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, was released on February 11, 2022. It is the follow-up to the 2017 film Murder on the Orient Express. Some characters and details are either omitted or differ from the novel, while the elements of the central murder remain unchanged. Bouc replaces the character of Tim Allerton, and he is joined by his mother, Euphemia. Salome Otterbourne is now a jazz singer and no longer a drunk, while Rosalie is her niece whom she adopted. Bouc is the third person killed instead of Salome Otterbourne. Linnet's lawyer Andrew is now also her cousin, and Mrs. Van Schuyler and Miss Bowers are a lesbian couple. Mrs. Van Schuyler is also the godmother of Linnet. All the suspects are friends of the married couple who have invited them to their honeymoon celebration. A World War I romance is invented for Poirot, and it is hinted that Poirot and Otterbourne have romantic feelings for each other.
