I loved Crocodile on the Sandbank but I'm looking for something with more contemporary writing especially in terms of romantic relations (couldn't stand Crocodile's main male character). I also really enjoyed Death on the Nile (both book and 70s movie) and The Jewel of the Nile but yet again I wish to read something with modern feel in terms of characters' personalities. It can be anything: fantasy, magical realism, mystery, crime, fictional chronicles (like Brennan's Lady Trent) etc as long as it's entertaining. Great if the plot takes place in victorian era or 80s (I know, quite odd paring).
I've already tried What the River Knows but the main character was too immature in the way she acted (and basing on goodreads review she did not improved throughout the plot) so I dropped it quite early.

It’s middle grade but the Charlie Thorne series takes you to lots of locations including Israel and Egypt. It’s a fun series. This reminds me that I would love to read more fiction set in Israel…
