Shadow of the Sphinx – An Aunt Jessica mystery – Book 4

Pyramids, pharaohs and a predator in Prada
Eloise Masterton is the owner of a chain of high-end boutiques, and she doesn’t care who she steps on to build her empire. When she is murdered on a holiday tour of Egypt there are plenty of suspects including the ex-husband who appears to be stalking her, a disgruntled business partner and an ex-lover, not to mention the ship’s resident cruise director.
Can Aunt Jessica and Harry unmask the murderer before their Nile cruise returns to Luxor and the whole party leave the boat to go their separate ways?
If you fancy a vicarious journey to enjoy the sights of magnificent, towering temples, giant statues of pharaohs and animal-headed gods and priceless bejewelled tomb treasures; take in the sounds and smells of the local markets and learn something of Egypt’s ancient history, customs and cuisine then this is a book for you.
A whodunit that blends ancient history, myths and archaeology wrapped in a present-day holiday mystery, with plenty of unexpected twists with a touch of humour. It will keep you guessing until the end.
Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile meets Elizabeth Peter’s Curse of the Pharaohs in a modern setting.
