Death Comes As the End by Agatha Christie

Death Comes As the EndDeath Comes As the End by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.0/5.0 - An Agatha Christie mystery set in ancient Egypt with no detective, so a departure from her normal style, yet it was quite fascinating and well written. I admit I didn't suspect the killer, with all the red herrings thrown in. This standalone mystery offers historical details into everyday life in Egypt, in the household of a ka priest and his family. There are three sons and a daughter, along with a new concubine, his mother, a faithful servant and some scribes; half of this cast will be dead by the end of the novel. Who is the killer? One by one, each suspect is killed, until at the end, only the killer remains.
