Resumen

Linnet Ridgeway, una joven rica y hermosa, acaba de casarse con Simon Doyle, antiguamente comprometido con Jacqueline de Bellefort. Linnet y Simon están de luna de miel en un crucero por el Nilo, en Egipto, cuando descubren que Jacqueline los sigue, decidida a no permitir que disfruten de su felicidad.

Poco después de iniciado el viaje, Linnet aparece muerta en su camarote y muchos de los pasajeros tienen un motivo para querer matarla. Mientras el famoso detective belga Hercule Poirot, también a bordo, intenta esclarecer lo sucedido, la doncella de Linnet es apuñalada y la escritora, la señora Otterbourne, es asesinada.

Es gracias al razonamiento inteligente de Poirot que logra resolver el misterio. Se descubre que Simon y Jacqueline habían planeado cuidadosamente el asesinato y que luego se vieron obligados a matar a las otras dos víctimas.
