Nakoniec príde smrť je Agathin Christie jediný historický román z roku 1944, odohrávajúci sa v starovekom Egypte. Príbeh sa sústredí na rodinu Imhotepa a tragickú smrť jeho konkubíny Nofret. V knihe sa miešajú psychologická rodinná dráma s detektívnym napätím a postavy sú priamočiare a jednoduché. Vyšetrovanie je koncipované skôr ako pozorovanie, až do záveru s prekvapujúcim odhalením páchateľa.
