Is it a historical cosy mystery if there isn't at least 1 instalment of the series set in Egypt?!
Finally Ellie and the gang have their turn visiting the Pyramids and cruising down the Nile and I liked that this one felt a little different and overall I really enjoyed it.
The set up was effective, with a mystery within a mystery and alas, whilst there was no Hugh, we had plenty of Eleanor and Clifford doing their detection thing, working well alongside a new character who I could see popping up again in future.
The Lady Swift series is one of my staples, it's a very comforting and familiar read and I hold a lot of affection for all the characters. After this exotic instalment I'm not so secretly hoping we next get a case a little closer to home as I really do enjoy seeing everyone in a more familiar setting and of course, it means more Hugh!
As always, a recommended read and despite the length of the series I do recommended reading the earlier books if you're new to the series so that you build your connection to our wonderful characters as well.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for a digital review copy of "Murder on the Nile" in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.
