Summary: 'An ancient setting. An age-old crime. A timeless mystery!'
Review: This is one of the best novels for Agatha. I'm very interested in Egyptology, and I was surprised that she also wrote a novel about a crime which happened in Ancient Egypt!The characters are: Esa, Henet, Hori, Imhotep (a wealthy priest-landowner), Ipy, Kait, Kameni, Khay, Divine Father Mersu, Montu, Nofret, Renisenb, Satipy, Sobek, Teti, and Yahmose It is Ancient 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 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. Murders ensue; another falls off a cliff, one drowns, another is suffocated with linen, two are poisoned, and one person is killed by an arrow. Esa (Imhotep's mother) is an old lady, who has a good experience in life, and has a strong personality over Imhotep. She is brilliant, but commits a fatal mistake at the end! No wonder, didn't she say (Death comes at the end)? As usual, Agatha convinces us that someone has all the evidences that convict him/her. But someone else unexpected has the gut to commit all these serial crimes. Who is the criminal? I won't spoil it. Read the novel & you'll be surprised at the end!
