Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie

3.0

As a young child I've always been interested in ancient Egypt and to dig out Agatha Christie's Death comes as the end while an adult was a very happy coincidence cause I immediately knew this reading would pair two great loves of mine, egyptology and criminal investigation. Can't say it is the best of her work but it sure isn't bad. For a book its length it's very capable of making my mind travel round Egyptian tombs, feel the sand under my toes and the sun on my back. Cleverly written, as always Christie makes it impossible to guess the murderer or the culprit's next move and she leaves me shaking over the chance that my favorite character will end up being the killer, after all they all look equally guilty. Achieving to freeze the blood in my veins until the truth surfaces on the Nile's waters, this book combines crime literature with a subtle hint of romance and existential thinking over life and death. It sure is a ride to enjoy.
