Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene at Denderah where Poirot and the others are entering the temple and the custodian is looking over the parapet, on the stones is carved a graffiti by Charles Irby and James Mangles, two Royal navy captains who were traveling in Egypt after the Napoleonic War. They helped Giovanni Battista Belzoni clear the entrance to the temple of Abu Simbel in 1817. This is shown in Egypt (2005).
- GoofsWhen the head of a stone statue falls off the side of the temple and almost kills Linnet, it bounces when it hits the ground. There's no way something made of solid stone would bounce. It should either stay completely still or crumble when it hits the ground, but the visible bounce reveals that it's not made of stone but of something much lighter, like foam.

Jacqueline, for the betrayal Linnet did to her when they were friends. Andrew Pennington, (David Soul) the American trustee who found himself in a spot of bother upon Linnets sudden marriage. And the mysterious passenger whose father was ruined by Linnets fathers irresponsibleness at the stock market.
As the clues begin to unfurl, Poirot discovers that nearly everyone aboard the liner have secrets to hide. Colonel Race (James Fox) replaces Captain Hastings as Poirots crime busting partner. As they close in two more murders the reason behind Linnets murder becomes all the more important to solve.
