Death on the Nile and Other Hercule Poirot Mysteries

Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie's redoubtable Belgian sleuth, returns to solve another three bedeviling murder mysteries. In Death on the Nile the tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile is shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. In The ABC Murders there's a serial killer on the loose, working his way through the alphabet and the whole country is in a state of panic: A is for Mrs. Ascher in Andover, B is for Betty Barnard in Bexhill, C is for Sir Carmichael Clarke in Churston. With each murder, the killer is getting more confident--but leaving a trail of deliberate clues to taunt the proud Hercule Poirot might just prove to be the first, and fatal, mistake. In Five Little Pigs, Poirot revisits the case of beautiful Caroline Crale, who was convicted of poisoning her husband. But just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other "little pigs" who could have done it.
