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.

Herring on the Nile (The Herring Mysteries Book 4) eBook L C Tyler Reviews

I so enjoyed this book. Of course, I like books set in Egypt, but this was so funny. Ethelred is such a gormless guy to be the hero of a book. Can't wait to read the rest in this series.
This one's a tribute to Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile," but with modern implements and contrivances. It's narrated in first person, bouncing back and forth between our mystery-writing protagonist, Ethelbert, and his long-suffering agent, Elsie. Neither one understands the scope of the goings-on so you get to enjoy the multitudinous gaffes of the unreliable narrators. The writing is smart and well-plotted, and if you like to think of yourself as a clever reader, you'll enjoy all of the references, some quite buried, to the great Christie. I was hoping for more plot points to actually occur in famous Egyptian settings, but that's a minor quibble.
