Death Comes as the End

This is a great book to give you an idea of what the British thought of Ancient Egypt. It makes for odd reading at times. Also, man are there lots of people dying!
The plot itself is twisty and our amateur detective is getting a lesson in human motivation. So that's interesting. And the romance is well done.
Overall pretty good plot, but the setting is odd.

Honestly, it was a bit of a letdown based on my expectations for an Agatha Christie novel. The setting felt somewhat forced and awkward. I also had trouble remembering the large cast of characters.

I began this book with some apprehension, as I'd read mixed reviews but gave it a go due to my interest in the historical setting. I felt it began a little slowly but really picked up in later chapters and at the end I couldn't put it down until all was revealed. I was totally off track in solving the case and thought it was an enthralling read which I would recommend to any Agatha Christie fan.
