-
*The number one bestseller!*
The ninth and final novel in the bestselling, award-winning Murder Most Unladylike series.
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are in Egypt, taking a cruise along the Nile. They are hoping to see some ancient temples and a mummy or two; what they get, instead, is murder.
Also travelling on the SS Hatshepsut is a mysterious society called the Breath of Life: a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ancient pharaohs.
Three days into the cruise their leader is found dead in her cabin, stabbed during the night.
It soon becomes clear to Daisy and Hazel that the victim's timid daughter is being framed - and they begin to investigate their most difficult case yet.
But there is danger all around, and only one of the Detective Society will make it home alive...
Ideal for readers who:
- Are partial to river-boat mysteries with exotic settings and a shadow of real peril
- Might be drawn in by Egypt, a murdered leader and a daughter being framed
- Like their detective fiction touched with atmosphere, travel and a hint of the theatrical
- Need a finale with proper stakes and a stronger sense of danger than usual
