The story of lively and rebellious Elizabeth, one of five unmarried daughters living in the countryside of 19th century England, in a world where an advantageous marriage is a woman's sole occupation.

When Linnet Doyle steals and marries her best friend's fiance, the best friend gets her revenge by hounding the newlyweds. On a pleasure cruise down the Nile, the widely despised Mrs. Doyle is found murdered. Thank goodness Poirot is along for the ride.

Poirot agrees to visit the husband of a famous actress to urge him to reconsider her request for a divorce. Edgware insists that he has already agreed to his wife's request. Yet, within twenty-four hours, he is found murdered.
