Inspired by the author's exotic journey aboard the Nile steamer Karnak when she was in her teens, this immensely popular, multi-suspect, multi-motive murder mystery--made into an all-star hit motion picture--remains not only a perennial favorite among Christie's readers, but the author's personal favorite as well.

"You have a right to expect great things from Christie, and you will not be disappointed." --New York Times Book Review

"Trust Agatha Christie to turn out the rightest and generally slickest mystery currently at hand. Once more she makes most of her rivals look a bit silly with her skill in every department of the puzzler's act--or is it a science?" --New York Herald Tribune

"A plethora of action...handled with customary Christie expertise." --Saturday Review of Literature

"Provides Christie with the best opportunities for displaying her own skill." --Manchester Guardian
