Not everyone is thrilled when the rich and famous Mostyn newlyweds show up on the Lotus for a trip down the Nile, least of all Simon's ex-fiance Jackie. But when Kay Mostyn shows up dead, everyone is suspicious. And since they're all trapped on a floating island, everyone's a suspect.

Role

Christina Grant ~ Thrilled at being taken on an adventure at last, Christina doesn't mind being her snobby's aunts' dogsbody in the least - though she does wish Miss f-f would treat others a bit nicer. A bit naive, but very pleasant and kind, Christina believes there is good in everyone, and trusts everyone in turn.

When the rebellious, cynnical, 'socialist' young Smith sees in her the exact opposite of himself, he asks her to marry him. Christina is torn - though her aunt can only be outraged at his lack of social position, to Christina, her undeniable attraction is hindered only by his ill manners.
