Description
John Moffatt stars as the famous Belgian detective in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of one of Christie's most popular novels.
Linnet Ridgeway has led a charmed life. Blessed with beauty, enormous wealth and a devoted husband, she has everything anyone could wish for. But as the happy couple set out on an idyllic honeymoon cruise on the Nile, storm clouds are gathering...
Linnet's former friend, Jacqueline de Bellefort, follows her and Simon wherever they go and Linnet senses she is in danger. At first her fears seem groundless. But an attempt is made first on her life and then on her husband's. Eventually the killer is successful, and Linnet is found horribly murdered.
With an obvious suspect who cannot possibly have committed the crime, it is up to Hercule Poirot to probe the depths of a remarkable criminal mind and discover the dark secret behind what is only the first in a series of inexplicable deaths.
This adaptation was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 - 9 January 1997.

É um livro que consegue prender a sua atenção do início ao fim, simplesmente maravilhoso e incrível! Em certos momentos achei que poderia ser tal pessoa o verdadeiro assassino, mas no final, o Detetive Hercule mostrou que meu pensamento estava errado.
September 2nd 2026
Für Männer ist Linnet Ridgeway schlicht bezaubernd. Frauen bekommen bei ihrem Anblick messerscharfe Lippen. Nur sie selbst hält sich für harmlos. Als Hercule Poirot neben ihrer Leiche steht, sagt er einfach: »Die meisten Liebesgeschichten sind doch nur Tragödien.« Diese hier bringt seine kleinen grauen Zellen zum Rotieren.
