About this listen

Agatha Christie’s acclaimed novel of anger, jealousy, betrayal and murder in Ancient Egypt, is now available as unabridged audio.

It is Egypt, 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a Ka-priest. Young, beautiful and venomous, most agree that she deserved to die like a snake.
Yet Renisenb, the priest’s daughter, believes that the woman’s death was not fate, but murder. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within her own father’s household.

As the wife of an eminent archaeologist, Agatha Christie took part in several expeditions to the Middle East. Drawing upon this experience and exhaustive research, she wrote this serial killer mystery laid in Egypt 4000 years ago.

Critic reviews

"More realistic than many a thriller-writer's idea of London." (Evening Standard)
"Startlingly new...my already insensate admiration for her leaps even higher." (Observer)

I am a big fan of Agatha Christie, but this book is definitely not one of her best. It is again her well known theme of having many killings arounds, but I was disappointed from how she describes women. As if women are always mean to each other. This is too flat. Also, it is unlikely to think that this was the way young members of the family spoke to the elderly ones, let alone to their father in those ancient times. It is true that women had power in ancient Egypt in the question of inheritance, but not the right to choose their husbands for example. All in all, if you have a better book to read, don't bother with this one.

this is a really interesting agatha Christie novel which calls heavily on her archeology knowledge and is also a very good detective novel.

Good narration, ingenious plot twist, lovely mix of atmosphere and history. The heroine is a tad infuriating but who knows I might be that childish too.

Ingenious plot
