Herring On the Nile (Elsie & Ethelred 4)
L. C. Tyler

In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging career, crime novelist Ethelred Tressider decides to set his new book in Egypt and embarks on a 'research trip' with his literary agent, Elsie Thirkettle, in tow. No sooner has their cruise on the Nile begun, however, than an attempt is made on Ethelred's life. When the boat's engine explodes and a passenger is found bloodily murdered, suspicion falls on everyone aboard including a third-rate private eye, two individuals who may or may not be undercover police, and Ethelred himself.

As the boat drifts out of control, though, it seems that events are being controlled by a party far more radical than anyone could have guessed.

​Herring on the Nile is an ingenious mystery, and a darkly funny tribute to Agatha Christie and the golden age of crime fiction.

​Praise

"This is a very enjoyable book full of incident  and reflection on who is exactly who among a closed community of passengers... I recommend this book for its wit and more; it is a very enjoyable read on many levels."
