Murder Among the Pyramids

1920s Lady Traveler in Egypt, Book 1

De: Sara Rosett

Narrado por: Elizabeth Klett

Escape on an Egyptian Excursion to the Land of the Pyramids!

Tour highlights include: Hieroglyphics and high tea in the desert, followed by murder after sunset . . .

It’s 1924, and Blix Windway has made a career out of her wanderlust, giving lectures to ladies’ groups about everything from the flora of the American desert to the beauty of the Swiss Alps, but she needs new material for her talks.

She strikes what seems to be an ideal agreement with an eccentric older lady. Blix will be her travel companion during a journey to Egypt, helping to smooth the way through customs and coordinate sightseeing tours. The arrangement will provide Blix with the perfect opportunity to photograph the pyramids and gather material for her next lecture series. But they’ve barely left England before the trouble begins—rough seas and an attempted robbery. Then a murder occurs during a tour of the pyramids.

Despite the attempts of the British officials to sweep the death under the rug, Blix becomes increasingly convinced that one of their tour party is a murderer. Blix’s search for the truth takes her from the posh sporting clubs and lavish gardens of Cairo to the narrow, twisting lanes of the city’s centuries-old bazaar and the vast desert around the Giza Plateau. Can Blix unearth the truth before the killer makes this journey her last?

Join Blix on this classic murder mystery from Sara Rosett, author of the beloved High Society Lady Detective series.

Love Eygpt

This was such a great book with a plot twist at the end. I was not expecting some of the twists and turns. I was a day fun listen and made me want to get out and walk more so I could listen longer. I can't wait to hear about Blix's next adventure.

Made it half way

I made it half way before fast forwarding to the end. The plot is ok and characters interesting but the plot was a bit drawn out. I enjoy High Society Detective very much, so will give this another try.

Wonderful History in Cairo

What an amazing writing with so much history around Cairo and the Egyptian countryside! I can hardly wait for book 2 in this series!!

5 Stars

Murder Among the Pyramids is just what I expect from Sara Rosett. The story is well written with engaging characters. I look forward to the next book.

Thrilling and exciting upbeat cozy

I’ve found a new favorite author! This book came up as a suggestion based on my interests and since I was going on a trip and needed some entertainment for the plane ride, I bought it on impulse. I have loved this book and fell right into the time period, the setting, (1920s) and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. It’s hard to find fresh, intelligent writing that isn’t stuffy or overdone. This book clicked all the boxes and surpassed my expectations.
