Publisher's Summary
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)

A pleasure to listen to.
Emilia Fox has a perfect reading voice for this story. I read this many years ago and had forgotten whodunnit- I couldn’t work it out this time … a perfect listen to for a lazy summer break.

Absolutely Awesome Worth the Listen
Brilliant Agatha. Stunning mind. I think she will get you with this one just wait and see. Really Agatha should be raised up in the literature ladder. When I was a child I was not allowed to use the 4:50 from Paddington for my book review because it was not literature. Agatha is so clever you don’t even realise the depth of knowledge she is revealing to us. Bravo again AC.

Takes a bit more to get into but worth it!
On the face of it a big departure from the usual well trodden, but enjoyable path of an Agatha Christie whodunnit. It took me a while to sort out the cast of characters and about 45 minutes in I was close to giving up. However, I persevered and I’m glad I did as in the end it was in her typical sparkling style. Emilia Fox did a great job of bringing the characters to life.
