About this listen

Sail down The Nile this summer on a voyage of discovery…and just a little bit of mystery!

Pre-order the next unforgettable escape from the #1 bestseller – the perfect read for summer 2026!

Set sail this summer on an unforgettable cruise along The River Nile…

Hattie Mulberry is exhausted. Weary and worn out from the demands of everyone around her, she decides she’s long-overdue an adventure. So, she decides to take a holiday – the adventure of a lifetime that’s set to follow in the footsteps of her literary hero, Agatha Christie.

Before she knows it, Hettie’s embarking on a glamorous Nile cruise. Not only a voyage steeped in history and romance, but one where the passengers are almost as fascinating as the views from her luxurious cabin.

Among the eclectic band of travellers are a lottery winner from Canada, an Instagram sensation and her long-suffering husband, and a sausage-maker from Clitheroe with a tendency to blur fantasy and reality. As the group journeys between ancient temples and legendary tombs, guided by handsome Egyptologist Sam, secrets surface, desires awaken, and tensions simmer beneath the Egyptian sun.

Each traveller is searching for something. Escape, love, or maybe even reinvention. But not everyone’s dreams will come true…

Will the magic of moonlit nights on the Nile bring romance and renewal? Or will whispers of the past and the infamous curse of Tutankhamun cast a shadow when least expected?

Join Hattie and an unforgettable cast of characters on the voyage of a lifetime this summer! The perfect read for fans of Sarah Morgan and Judy Leigh.
