Ein Meisterdetektiv ist immer im Einsatz - so auch Hercule Poirot, der sich auf dem Nildampfer eigentlich erholen wollte. Wäre da nicht die bildschöne Millionenerbin Linnet Ridgeway, deren Hochzeitsreise auf dem Schiff mit dem Tod endet. Als der belgische Meisterdetektiv die Ermittlungen aufnimmt, sticht er damit in ein "Wespennest", denn nahezu jeder der Mitreisenden hat ein Tatmotiv.

The tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life. Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: “I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.” Yet under the searing heat of the Egyptian sun, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

A weekly dinner party. Ten amateur sleuths. The Tuesday Night Club murders. On a quiet Tuesday in St Mary Mead, a group of friends gather for dinner. A policeman, a clergyman, a solicitor, an author, an artist, and an unassuming lady with a shrewd gaze – Miss Jane Marple. Conversation naturally turns to crime. Each recounts a seemingly unsolvable mystery. Each thinks they know the answer. But it’s the one they least expect who understands the true nature of each wicked act.

Quando Aristides muore, perché qualcuno gli ha iniettato una sostanza letale al posto dell'insulina, i Leonides accusano Brenda e il precettore dei nipoti che avrebbe con lei una relazione.

The Man in the Brown Suit is Agatha Christie at her best, as a young woman makes a dangerous decision to investigate a shocking “accidental” death she witnesses at a London tube station.

"Macabro quiz" è la ventottesima avventura di Hercule Poirot e si colloca a metà strada tra la detective story e il romanzo di spionaggio internazionale. Il celebre investigatore belga compare nel romanzo piuttosto tardi quando sarà interpellato da una cliente in erba, una giovane studentessa del Collegio di Meadowbank, perché risolva il problema dell'inafferrabile assassinio che ha messo in subbuglio la tranquillità della scuola con una serie di misteriosi delitti. Romanzo che risente del tardo stile delle opere della Christie.

Per gli amanti di Agatha Christie "Poirot a Styles Court" è un vero e proprio cult che ha ben due primati: è il suo primo romanzo giallo, e per la prima volta fa la sua comparsa Hercule Poirot, il suo personaggio più famoso, l'investigatore belga più arguto del mondo. La Christie ambienta la vicenda in un'elegante residenza di campagna dell'Essex, durante gli anni bui della prima guerra mondiale. Emily Inglethorp, la ricca padrona di casa viene trovata agonizzante nel suo letto.
