Nofret is the posthumous secondary antagonist of Agatha Christie's 1944 historical mystery novel, Death Comes at the End and its first victim.

Overview

Nofret was the nineteen-year-old concubine of Imhotep, originated from Memphis in the North. When she arrived with Imhotep, she was nineteen years old. Her arrival stirred the unsettling relationship between Imhotep's aristocratic family. She became the first victim of a subsquent serial killing and her death was never considered to be accident.

Although it was first speculated that Nofret's arrival and abusive behavior had corrupted the family into hating each other, the family was revealed to be already dysfunctional before her arrival. The marriage between Nofret and Imhotep was in fact a factor that kicked-started the entire plot by stirring the problems and darkness already buried inside the family. Nofret's attitude towards the killer was what caused them to snap and turned on their own family in a homicidal killing spree.

Nofret's death was not consdiered as accident, and none of the family members actually mourned her death. Henet even taunted the deceased Nofret about her fall from grace as well as declared that Nofret's liner would be used to wrap up some other victim. Although, ironically, Henet herself fell into the fate by being suffocated after the killer mummified her alive with the liners of their previous victims.
