Summary

A cruise down the Nile, a camel ride around the pyramids, lunch in the shadow of the Sphinx… And a very dead body!

1924. Lady Eleanor Swift and her butler Clifford are touring the great, ancient sights of Egypt on a much-anticipated extended vacation. But when the pair arrive at the docks in Cairo expecting to board the luxurious paddle steamer advertised in their brochure, they are baffled by the crumbling old cruiser waiting for them. And things only go from bad to worse as death stalks the decks of the SS Cleopatra…

Two days into the trip one of their fellow passengers, Lieutenant Baxter, is found shot dead in his locked cabin. Immediately suspicious and desperate to see justice done, Eleanor discovers a half-finished note addressed to her hidden in Baxter’s travelling trunk. In it he asks her to deliver a vitally important letter to the authorities at their next stop down river: a priceless treasure worthy of a king has been stolen and an innocent man’s life hangs in the balance.

But before the sands of time wipe away all evidence on board, Eleanor must uncover who among the other travellers wanted Baxter dead. Was it the anxious archaeologist who doesn’t have an alibi, the reptile expert with a passion for the murderous Nile crocodile or the art dealer with a devious secret?

With the killer readying to strike again much closer to home, can Eleanor dig up the truth before she’s trapped in a tomb under the pyramids forever?

A gripping and twisty 1920s murder mystery set in Egypt, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss!

The usual excellent story and performance

This is by far the best series in the cosy crime genre. Great characters, well researched storyline and brilliantly read.

Murder on the Nile

Another excellent book by Verify Bright, with lots of real history thrown in. With clues found all along the Nile, as well as two murders. While the boat and passenger are only going to be held in port for a few hours. Time is running out as a young soldier is also on trial for the murder of a fellow soldier while guarding an artificial site. Are these all connected!
Read brilliantly again by Karen Cass who brings the story to life.

Twists and turns

Clues and evidence shifted like the sands of the desert - one monent all seemed clear, but it was all a mirage.
But Lady Swift and Clifford, with help from camels, a Londoner and of course the ladies, fight the clock to try to help justice prevail.
