About this listen

It is Egypt in 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 it was fate - she deserved to die like a snake!

But at her father's house on the banks of the Nile, the priest's daughter Renisenb believes that the woman's death is suspicious. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within their household - and watches helplessly as the family's passions explode in murder.

What made the experience of listening to Death Comes as the End the most enjoyable?

Christie gets the details of Egyptian life right! From Ka priests, to the names of people, to the descriptions of life on the Nile, she really did her research here.

After listening to this, I also found out that her husband was an Egyptologist, so I guess that helped =)

Classic Christie with an authentic Egyptian twist

I'm a huge fan of Christie's cozy mysteries set in the 1920s and 1930s, so hesitated before purchasing a mystery set in the distant past. However, I'm also really interested in Egyptology and was curious.

I soon found myself completely engrossed and looking forward to repetitive tasks like doing the dishes so I could steal time to listen.

Constructing an engaging story with well defined characters is enough of a challenge, but doing it while also reconstructing an ancient civilization with historical accuracy is quite a feat. Christie succeeds beautifully. I have a better sense of daily life after having read it.

Kudos to Emilia Fox for her ability to interpret the characters and make each unique.

Entertaining and Instructive!

Well presented and overall good story. It's hard to have a poor Christie story.

Well done.

Not one of her more well-known stories, and very contained in a the smaller enclosed Egyptian household. Good for passing the time when you need a book.

I read the book years ago and it is my favorite Agatha Christie. it's so different from her usual Poirot and Miss Marple.

I really enjoyed this book set in Egyptian time. It has great characters and holds the interest until the end. Another great work by Christie!

Intriguing

A great story once I embraced Agatha's departure to ancient Egypt and could recognize the characters' names!

By Anubis this was an excellent listen!
I’ve never listened to an Agatha Christie novel (a crime. I know) and started with this. It was recommended as further reading in The History of Ancient Egypt Great Course. And woah. Historically accurate and based off a REAL papyri journal this is amazing. Historical fiction at its absolute best. I was spell bound. I don’t think I have ever listened to a better mystery. 100/100

Just listen to this. Yesterday.

Not the usual period work by Agatha Christie but just as enjoyable. Definitely one of my favourites

Enjoyed it!

Lots of twists and turns and extra points for historical accuracy. Ancient Egypt + excellent mystery= worth the time spent.

Loved it!
