Honestly, it was a bit of a letdown based on my expectations for an Agatha Christie novel. The setting felt somewhat forced and awkward. I also had trouble remembering the large cast of characters.

Audiobook: this took me awhile to get into but as the old familiar wheels started turning about “who dunnit” I started to enjoy the mystery and went along for the ride. Glad I stuck with it, the only historical fiction mystery she wrote.

I've never been a huge fan of most the Christie mysteries set outside of England, and this one set in ancient Egypt didn't change my mind. The story involves one family whose day to day life is disturbed by the addition of a concubine. Six deaths later and the truth about the ugliness within the family is revealed.

This was a fun deviation from Christie's normal writing. I very much enjoyed the different setting.
