BACKGROUND
AgathaChristie is the most popular crime writer in history, her books selling more than two billion copies worldwide- she is undoubtedly the 'queen of crime.'

Death on the Nile is the first adaptation available and is available for an introductory price of just ₤2.99 from most newsagents for a DVD and a magazine with information about the film, actors and AgathaChristie herself. I haven't seen the magazine, but the DVD alone has to worth that price! ...
