Can't fully just unwrap this story and call it a love story.
Just a man meeting a woman, that actually seemed to be in love with another woman. It moves along quickly that the richer friend Lynette, always got what she wanted even if it was her friend Jacqueline's man. Surprisingly it moves on quickly in the story that Simon was the prize to be had and marries Lynette and they plan this elaborate Honeymoon.

IMBD.Com

Trying to enjoy every minute of wealth to be had in all their plans to escape the stares of heartache and betrayal of her love for Simon, Jacqueline doesn't want to give up on him at all. She inserts herself whenever or wherever possible even in their honeymoon plans.

Do you actually believe with this dynamic they could ever live happily ever after and Simon & Lynette settle down with all her wealth?!?
The Couple had the perfect set up with hired music, plenty of helpers serving food and champagne on their boat taking a tour of the beautiful Egypt attractions. Showing their passionate love for each other at every opportunity.

Parking the boat in the Nile continuing to enjoy all the new Love from the nuptials, celebrating & Partying with limited family and close friends on this honeymoon journey. Lynette always had a suspicious gut feeling everyone was not truly her friend and could be an enemy with all her wealth. She felt it was always hard to tell.

As you can suspect murder is the scheme and an elaborate plan of greed. With a Detective on board who questions everyone to get full whereabouts and time to figure in along with time of death. Did the murderous duo think they could pull off such an elaborate plan against the wealthy Lynette to get away with her wealth and live happily ever after??
They took the quickest way out...their own death!

Of course summing up the whole story along with it's side plots could make this an even longer read. While everyone was under suspicion more deaths occured along with some secrets being unveiled. I'm curious to know if Simon had been survived by his wife Lynette and not guilty of her murder if he would have gotten all her wealth!!
At the End the disastrous trip on the boat pulls up to carry off several dead bodies. Here's to Holy Matrimony at its finest!
