Description

Having written more than 70 novels, 14 short story collections, as well as the longest running play in history, Agatha Christie is the most widely read author of all time. Her murder mysteries, above all, brought her fame and have endured in the public consciousness for nearly a century, earning her the undisputed title of the Queen of Crime. It is with great pleasure that we announce that Thornwillow Press, with the blessing of Agatha Christie’s family and estate, is publishing the first ever fine press edition of one of her most iconic works—Death on the Nile.

We aim to honor the legacy of the great Queen of Crime, and shine a spotlight once again on the enduring brilliance of her work. It is with great pleasure that Thornwillow Press, with the blessing of Agatha Christie’s family and estate, has published the first ever fine press edition of one of her most iconic works—Death on the Nile

We are joined by archeologist and crime fiction scholar Dr. A.T. Reyes of Groton and Oxford University. With a brand new original monograph and exquisitely reproduced collection of maps and ephemera from Christie’s travels, Dr. Reyes is our guide as we walk in the footsteps of the great Queen of Crime through a world of ancient tombs, evil curses, and archaeological discovery. For after all, what is an archeologist but a reader and detective of the ancient past?

The novel stars Hercule Poirot, the archetypal detective and one of Christie’s most beloved and enduring characters; of the more than 30 Poirot novels, Death on the Nile is one of the very best. Upon its release, The New York Times Book Review wrote “You have the right to expect great things… and you will not be disappointed.”
