Secrets of the Nile

I just finished Secrets of the nile by Tasha Alexander

Lady Emily and Colin, her husband, have joined Colin's mother to see the treasures of Egypt. Lord Bertram, a British collector of antiquities is their host and he has also invited his closest friends for a river cruise on the fabulous Nile, to his lavish home in Luxor. The first night, something terrible happens during his toast. Who would want their host dead?

Emily and Colin decide to investigate and it is revealed that his closest friends all had reasons for wanting him gone.

Can they find out who before it is too late?

In an epic nod to Agatha Christie, this book hit all the marks for me. Who doesn't love historical fiction that takes place in the beautiful country of Egypt? The plot was fabulous! I loved the murder mystery in a historical fiction setting. It ticked all the boxes for me and I loved Emily. What a woman! I am obsessed with Egypt so this book already had a head start to my heart but it didn't need the help. Pace was exceptional and the writing was so captivating, that I couldn't put the book down. I thirsted for more and not because the book didn't deliver, but because I didn't want it to end.

The character development was top notch and I couldn't have asked for more.
