Can't Wait Wednesday: Murder On the Nile by Verity Bright (A Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery Book 19)

 


For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at 
Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, Murder On the Nile by Verity Bright. I'm currently on Book 10 of this series and I just love it. It is one of the few cozy series I started with at the beginning and have reviewed throughout the whole series so far. There is just something about it that appeals to me with the fun locations, clever, witty characters and gorgeous covers. It is a cozy series worth committing to. I hope you have a great week with whatever you can't wait to read!

Cozy Mysteries/Historical Mysteries




A cruise down the Nile, a camel ride around the pyramids, lunch in the shadow of the Sphinx… And a very dead body!

1924. Lady Eleanor Swift and her butler Clifford are touring the great, ancient sights of Egypt on a much-anticipated extended vacation. But when the pair arrive at the docks in Cairo expecting to board the luxurious paddle steamer advertised in their brochure, they are baffled by the crumbling old cruiser waiting for them. And things only go from bad to worse as death stalks the decks of the SS Cleopatra…

Two days into the trip one of their fellow passengers, 
Lieutenant Baxter, is found shot dead in his locked cabin. Immediately suspicious and desperate to see justice done, Eleanor discovers a half-finished note addressed to her hidden in Baxter’s travelling trunk. In it he asks her to deliver a vitally important letter to the authorities at their next stop down river: a priceless treasure worthy of a king has been stolen and an innocent man’s life hangs in the balance.

But before the sands of time wipe away all evidence on board, Eleanor must uncover who among the other travellers wanted Baxter dead. Was it the anxious archaeologist who doesn’t have an alibi, the reptile expert with a passion for the murderous Nile crocodile or the art dealer with a devious secret?

With the killer readying to strike again much closer to home, 
can Eleanor dig up the truth before she’s trapped in a tomb under the pyramids forever?
