For the Guardian, Bennett named her top ten books set in the Mediterranean. One book on the list:
Death on the Nile by Agatha ChristieRead about the other entries on the list.
If that's all a bit too energetic on a summer's day, picture Hercule Poirot in cream linen, travelling up the Nile on an old-fashioned cruise ship. Agatha Christie was inspired to write the story while on a steamer that you can still cruise on. There is something about a very hot sun and a very wicked murder plot that just seems to work.
