They Came to Baghdad

Not your usual Agatha Christie mystery
This one is more thriller than mystery. It has intelligence agents, spys, murders, fraud, conspiracies, an international conference between the Russian premier and the American president and what we would now call terrorists plotting to ignite war. A strong female lead caught up in a tangled web. Who can be trusted?
The story begins in London. It quickly moves to Bagdad, a city with which Ms. Christie was familiar. Well written with good descriptions of the city and an archeological dig.

She certainly loved those archeological digs, Charles. But I suppose that was to be expected as her husband was an archeologist. Excellent review. ❤�

Great review, Charles. Christie loved historical places, like Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. Such an adventurous life she had. I love her books, but haven't read this one. Thanks for introducing this.
Ohh I love Christie, especially when it's in a different country! I shall check this one out!
Thank y'all for your kind comments.
