An Agatha Christie novel: One of the greatest. From pyrimids, to boats to the Nile herself, its a fantastic novel and I am going to turn it into a movie.
In 1937, a rich young woman happens to be on a steamboat called the Karnak and one night she is murdered and it just so happens detective Hercule Poirot is aboard with the help from a friend they can solve the mystery of the Nile. The Death of the Nile.....
But wait it was a movie is what your thinking. Yes, but this website takes movies and recasts them for everyones pleasures/ enjoyments.
