Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie
4.0
3,5 stars
A book by Agatha Christie far away from England =)
All was well in the house of the high priest Imhotep until he brings home his new concubine Nofret. Under the effect of her viper's tongue, a lot of old bitterness and hatred reappeared and when words are not enough, bodies began to pile up ...
I enjoyed this book which is set in ancient Egypt. The author has done a lot of research to make the story very realistic and I liked the different characters, especially Hori who would have made a perfect detective and Renisenb who's really changing throughout the book (although sometimes she's a little daft).
If the plot was well twisted, I found the end a little too quick and easy ...
In short, a nice book but not worth a good Hercule Poirot =)
