Simon and Linnet Doyle have just got married, but in order to marry the rich and beautiful Linnet Simon had to break off his engagement to her old school friend, Jacqueline de Bellefort.

Simon and Linnet are now on their honeymoon, on board a steamer cruising the Nile in Egypt, but they are being stalked by Jacqueline, who is still furious about the way she has been treated.

Poirot is also on board, which is just as well when murder breaks out.

Episode Quotes

Jacqueline de Bellefort: It's terribly easy, killing people, Monsieur Poirot. You begin to think it doesn't matter.

Poirot: Has life been unfair to you, mademoiselle?
Rosalie Otterbourne: You've met my mother.

Colonel Race: We'll get to the bottom of it.
Poirot: Oh, I know I will.

Joanna Southwood: Isn't it awful when one's friends fall on hard times? One simply has to drop them.

Rosalie Otterbourne: Linnet Doyle's very beautiful, and very rich. I don't think I've ever hated anyone so much on first sight.

Poirot: Love is not everything, mademoiselle.
Jacqueline de Bellefort: Oh, but it is, it is! You must know that. Surely you understand?
Poirot: It is terrible, mademoiselle, all that I have missed in life.
