Résumé du livre
 
   She was a woman who appeared to have everything – beauty, riches, a loving husband – and what lovelier prospect than to take a cruise on the Nile ?
   But to the discerning eye of Hercule Poirot something seemed amiss...
   Only a few days later, in the warm darkness of an Egyptian night, Linnet Doyle was shot through the head.

   « Linnet Ridgeway ! »
   « That’s her ! » said Mr Burnaby, the landlord of the Three Crowns.
   He nudged his companion.
   The two men shared with round bucolic eyes and slightly open mouths.
   A big scarlet Rolls-Royce had just stopped in front of the local post office.
   A girl jumped out, a girl without a hat and wearing a frock that looked (but only looked) simple. A girl with golden hair and straight autocratic features – a girl with a lovely shape – a girl such as was seldom seen in Malton-under-Wode.
   With a quick imperative step she passed into the post office.
   « That’s her ! » said Mr Burnaby again. And he went on in a low awed voice : « Millions she’s got... Going to spend thousands on the place. Swimming-pools there’s going to be, and Italian gardens and a ballroom and half of the house pulled down and rebuilt... »
   « She’ll bring money into the town, » said his friend. He was a lean, seedy-looking man. His tone was envious and grudging.
   Mr Burnaby agreed.
   « Yes, it’s a great thing for Malton-under-Wode. A geat thing it is. »
   Mr Burnaby was complaccent about it.
   « Wake us all up proper, » he added.
   « Bit of difference from Sir George, » said the other.
   « Ah, it was the ‘orses did for him, » said Mr Burnaby indulgently. « Never ‘ad no luck. »
   « What did he get for the place ? »
   « A cool sixty thousand, so I’ve heard. »
