Trivia

 * This case's plot and characters are based on one of Agatha Christie's famous novels – Death On The Nile, with Hercule Poirot.
 * Characters:
 * The character Hermes Perrot, a Belgian detective, is a nod to the mentioned novel's protagonist, Hercule Poirot, who is also a Belgian detective.
 * French heiress Jacqueline De Valais is based on Jacqueline De Bellefort, a suspect in the novel.
 * Ironically, Jacqueline De Bellefort is the murderer of the novel while Jacqueline De Valais is the murder victim in the case.
 * Jacqueline's sister, Simone Moyle, is a parody of Linnet Doyle, the American heiress who was murdered in Death On The Nile.
 * Simone's husband, Lynton Moyle, is based on Simon Doyle, the husband of Linnet in the novel
 * Simone's name is a word play of Simon Doyle, while Lynton's name is a word play of Linnet's name.
 * The Moyles' assistant, Louise Wagner, is the parody of the Doyles' maid in the novel, Louise Bourget.
 * However, in the novel, Louise Bourget was a murder victim while Louise Wagner is the killer in this case.
 * Plot:
 * Hermes claims that he was hired by Simone for protection from Jacqueline. This is similar to how Linnet Doyle asked Hercule Poirot to protect her from Jacqueline De Bellefort.
 * Jacqueline De Valais is jealous of Simone's wealth and husband, just as Jacqueline De Bellefort is jealous of Linnet's wealth and husband.
 * Lynton and Jacqueline used to be lovers. Simon Doyle and Jacqueline De Bellefort were also lovers and conspirators of the three murders in the novel.
