1 Introduction

Agatha Christie is a famous British detective writer, playwright, and one of the three leading theorists. There is a detective novel queen. Agatha Christie opened the “countryside villa ” of detective stories , that is , the murder took place in a particular closed environment , and the killer was one of several specific relationships . Many detective works in Europe, America and even Japan also use this model. With her motivation and analysis of human nature, she always shows readers a strange and rich psychological world, which reveals the richness of the human heart, the rich character of the characters, and the labyrinth of human nature, which is swaying and twists and turns. Agatha Christie’s output is second only to Shakespeare’s. She is also known as the Queen of reasoning because of her reasoning novels. The Death on the Nile is one of Agatha Christie’s masterpieces. The story tells of three killings on a yacht on the Nile and an investigation by Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who eventually summoned tourists to reveal the truth of the three cases.
