In this tribute? spoof? of Agatha Christie author Ethelred Tressider and his agent, Elsie Thirkettle set off on an Egyptian cruise. Ethelred is trying to rejuvenate his mystery writing career by setting his next book in Egypt and plans to do research. However, as soon as their trip embarks threats begin. It seems that a number of the passengers on the boat are not what they seem including a couple of undercover policemen / terrorists. Everything is complicated by an actual murder and then the kidnapping of Ethelred by the police/terrorists. Ethelred is one of the suspects in the murder although he believes he was the intended target with his ex-fiancée the killer. The story is very convoluted and the ending is possibly a non-ending. This mystery series is mediocre at best.
