Agatha Christie uses quote to echo the precepts of Ptha-hotep, from maybe the oldest known manuscripts.

"Men are made fools by the gleaming limbs of women, and lo, in a minute they are become discolored carnelians. A trifle, a little, the likeness of a dream, and death comes as the end"

(Hard to find in p88 Life magazine 1 Oct 1956, yet Christie published book first in 1944 - inside knowledge?) http://books.google.ca/books?id=sEEEA...

Human nature - fear, envy, betrayal, love, hate - are every where and when. Family dysfunction, need to couple, motivation to murder. "Are you threatening me?" "I am warning you." p53. Expressions, attitudes and superstitions orient reader into 200 BC Egypt. Brother-sister means husband-wife. Concubines may be family. Isis, Osiris, Ra, spirits of dead relatives respond to prayers written or spoken, and ritual sacrifices, or act malevolently.

With toddler, new widow Renisenb returns to her Nile family home, seems unchanged after eight years, until hidden evil emerges. Father Imhotep fusses bossily over brothers submissive Yahmose, middle handsome indolent Sobek, youngest selfish arrogant Ipy. Malicious servant Henet gossips to stir trouble. Grandma Esa grows blind but sees clearest, and voices suspicions. Scribes - calm Hori who fixed her toys and dashing Kameni visiting from the north - both want Renisenb to wife.

This audiobook was the pick for a drive up to Rhode Island and back. Not going to lie, I selected this book entirely because it's narrated by the actress who played Morgause on BBC's Merlin. As a result, all the Ancient Egyptians sound like they're from various strata of the British Isles (I think I heard a cockney accent, an Irish accent, along with your stereotypical posh upper cruster, among others). It's a bit funny at first, but you get used to it.

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!
Let me just say that I am a HUGE fan of Christie's books, her mysteries are AMAZING and keep me guessing until the very end. I think there is only ONE book out of the fifty or so that I read where I actually managed to guess who the killer was. Usually I end up picking five suspects and hoping that one of them is the killer. They never are, except for that one time I mentioned.
Also, along with being one a fan of Agatha Christie, I am also a big fan of Ancient Egypt (and Ancient civilizations like Rome and Greece in general).
I especially liked the fact that this book had a historical setting and wasn't in the 1900s (not that I didn't enjoy those either. It was simply nice to read about some historical things, in the pre-technology era). It was refreshing, and it made me think of the first Christie book I read, which was also set in Egypt; Death on the Nile. That was a wonderful read too and it was the first of many Christie books I read.
I liked the characters in this novel as well. You fear for Renisenb's safety because she is so innocent, naive and kind-hearted. Though I liked Renisenb a lot it was Hori who was my favorite character. At some points in this novel I seriously got the chills. I would get scared because I never knew WHO the killer was or when he would strike next but whenever I read of Hori I felt an almost immediate calm (though I also spent a good deal of time worrying that he would also be killed).
I absolutely loved how Christie used the killer to uncover everyone's true natures in the novel (though Hori, Renisenb and her grandmother didn't change). Renisenb's brothers and their wives... they all pretended to act a certain way but their nature was really completely different. I loved reading about it, and I would recommend this book to ANYONE who loves a great mystery.
To the master of all mystery novels, Madame Christie, all I have to say is; Another job well done.(less)

I was quite hesitated when I first read this book. Perhaps the setting of the book's plot was not enough to catch my interest. Then, as I read further, I seemed to be reading from a history book with precise historical view; rather than actually reading a crime book by Agatha Christie.

She made it precised with the timelines, the characters' functions in society, the clear explanation of hierarchy and the cultural surrounding of Egypt at that period of time. This book was not her best book, or at...more

As people kept dying I was more and more sure of my guess. When I normally read Agatha Christies, I have several guesses throughout the book. In this book I really only had one. At the end where the identity of the killer was revealed I was sort of bored, like "yeah, you finally figured it out." I hated the names in this book. I couldnt remember any of them because they were all so strange. What is wrong with characters having simple names, like Jill and Dorothy. In most mysteries I could care less about the names of the characters, I only care about knowing who did it. With names like Hennet, Rennysembe, Hoary, Yakmosuh, Sobek, and my personal favorite, Settippe, who can think about clues? I had a hard enough time remembering who was who. Rennysembe, the main character was so wimpy. She was like Bella in Twilight. She acted like an eight year old, but yet she was beautiful and so several men were in love with her. I find people like that annoying. "Well I just dont understand", said in some sweet little confused voice. In a child its cute, but in a grown woman with a child, it just made me sick of her. The only character I liked was Asa. The old woman who knew everything, but expressed little. Even she died in the end though. Poor little Rennysembe was left living, how cruel of an irony is that. The smart one who knew everything died, but the dumb one who only realized the truth when her brother was trying to kill her lived. Grrr. I had high hopes for this book because I always liked the title. It is so dramatic. I do have to say that eight is I think the highest amount of deaths I have read about in a single Agatha Christie other than And Then There Were None. Technically, however, Nofrit's death came as the beginning of the killing spree. It came at the end of her life, but did anyone really think that death came at the beginning of life? Other than the whole heaven/afterlife thing. But you know what I mean, this life. This book disappointed me a little, I wasnt excited at the ending like I usually am. Maybe the next one I read will be better.(less)

I wasn't sure what to expect with this novel, as I'd gotten used to the post-war setting that most of Christie's novels are based in, so a historical murder mystery was a break from normal. To my great surprise, I ended up really loving this novel. I don't know whether it's because I used to study Classics, but the ancient Egyptian setting really added to the story for me and interesting to see how a murder mystery could be successfully worked into a family group where ritual is incredibly impor...more

It is not generally known that Agatha Christie was married to an archeologist. She actually spent time in Egypt at various archeological digs. (She remarked that it was a good thing to marry an archeologist, since his appreciation could only increase as she got older). She got the idea for this book after reading the Hekanakhte letters, a collection of letters found at Thebes (and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art) written by a traveling man to his quarrelsome family. Ms. Christie thought the le...more

Long explanation: The cover stated this mystery was unique among the Agatha Christie canon in that it was set in ancient Egypt. I wish Christie wrote more like this, because this mystery is a great example of what I call perceptive/deceptive storytelling. Usually Christie keeps some critical clues to herself in the Poirot and Miss Marple books that only fully come out when they are finally exposing the murderer (hidden past of some character, a hidden tidbit of info just mentioned but never fully explained or followed up to the reader, etc). Not here--because of the pre-industrial setting she relies on elements of good writing to pull you in: varied characterization and believable family dynamics, the theme of inner and outer change (notable in the conservative tradition bound culture of Ancient Egypt) for everyone, and oh yes, the tantalizingly urgent hook of family members mysteriously murdered one by one. Trust me, Christie gives you everything you need to figure out the murderer in this book; she doesn't withhold anything from you. You just need to question your perceptions. That she manages to make almost everybody a suspect by casting the light of suspicion on everyone is a testament to her technique. That she skillfully balances events of murder and family distress with those of the heroine's introspective reflection on the dark side of human nature, and her resolve to live against it, provoked me to think, and kept the story from getting tiresome and overwhelming. A love relationship/affair between two of her characters is almost de riguer in Christie's mysteries; I think she does this to keep the emotional tone balanced. While the relationship of the heroine and her mentor is admirably done here with restraint to keep the focus on the mystery and to keep the point that it is the heroine's decision who she ends up with, I wish Christie had made it a little more obvious on the mentor's part. But then it can be argued they had more pressing matters to deal with, such as a murderer... This is a good mystery, and even better, a great story.(less)

I'll acknowledge that Christie might have written more impressive novels, ones that might stand out more in the mystery genre and best act as an introduction to her work. But of all the Christie novels, and I've read a few dozen, including the most famous, this one is my personal favorite, and probably for the reason it's unique among her novels.

Unlike Christie's many other mysteries, such as her beloved Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple series, this one takes place in ancient Egypt. Although the story is technically about the murder of a concubine, it's actually more about the family drama among and the psychological landscape of the central family's members. A ka-priest (priest whose job it is to tend the family tomb of one or more individuals, and in return he inherits their estate) who has been widowed for many years falls for a concubine while traveling to another land, bringing her home with him. His family all have tangled webs of drama prior to the arrival of this newcomer - things dealing with inheritance, status, jockeying for position, as well as secret hatreds and jealousies and other personal issues - and the concubine is not a nice girl. She's young and beautiful, but she's manipulative, greedy, cruel, hateful of children, and deeply intelligent. She purposefully causes much strife, and eventually she is found dead. Fingers are pointed, mysteries are untangled, and all sorts of intrigue ensues. Then several other family members start turning up dead, one by one...

I loved the setting. I am very keen on ancient Egyptian history, and Christie, while definitely being inventive to support her fiction, did some good research for this story. It felt authentic and believable. I wish she had written more historical setting mysteries! I also enjoyed the focus on the psychological aspects of the family's interactions and the fact that there was no detective/sleuth in this. The mystery was sussed out by family members who themselves were suspects the entire time.

My only complaint: I thought the ending was a bit convenient and didn't fit perfectly with the rest of the story. The ultimate culprit seemed in the final few pages to be practically a different person than they were in the previous couple of hundred. I found it hard to believe they had done it. Christie did not make me believe their motivation. (This did not detract from the overall story, to be honest. I would take off a half-star, perhaps.)

If you like mysteries or historical fiction or psychological/family drama, you should give this a try. It's a brisk read that kept me turning pages, and Christie is so good at fleshing out her characters on many levels.(less)
