- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rating: 3.5* of fiveThe Publisher Says: Previously published in the print anthology Poirot Investigates.A series of deaths around a pharaoh’s tomb is blamed on an ancient curse, but Poirot knows better.My Review: A 99¢ Kindle Single and fifth season episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot.The story is set entirely in Egypt. The episode is more wide-ranging, interweaving the Egyptian archaeological dig with New York and London. The deaths that Poirot investigates are all connected to the archaeological dig; there is a suspicion that an ancient curse is in action, an idea spread by the superstitious widow of the first victim. She calls in Poirot and Hastings to determine what has occurred.The resolution of the deaths is the same in both iterations of the tale. But let me tell you somethin' the episode makes hay of the imagery reported in the story! Anubis-headed nightmares for me tonight.The horror of human greed is eternal, isn't it. Appalling what people will do for enough money.

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was an English crime novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. She is best known for her sixty-six detective novels and fourteen short-story collections, particularly those revolving around her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

In 1971, she was elevated to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) for her contribution to literature.
The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb
I HAVE always considered that one of the most thrilling and dramatic of the many adventures I have shared with Poirot was that of our investigation into the strange series of deaths which followed upon the discovery and opening of the Tomb of King Men-her-Ra.
Hard upon the discovery of the Tomb of Tutankh-Amen by Lord Carnarvon, Sir John Willard and Mr. Bleibner of New York, pursuing their excavations not far from Cairo, in the vicinity of the Pyramids of Gizeh, came unexpectedly on a series of funeral chambers. The greatest interest was aroused by their discovery. The Tomb appeared to be that of King Men-her-Ra, one of those shadowy kings of the Eighth Dynasty, when
