This book was a DNF for me - I got as far as the middle and couldn't go on. I feel bad about it because Agatha Christie is one of my favorite writers - but this is not her usual murder mystery. No nosy middle aged heroine or vain, foreign detective hero. It is set in ancient Egypt for one thing. And the murder dosn't happen for quite a bit into the story. Just not the same as her much loved mysteries. sigh - I picked this particular book because it was on a "100 best Mystery" type list I found online. I will cross this book off and find another great mystery to read. ;D
