Schools out for the summer and that means decompressing for a bit. And what a better way than reading the Queen of Crime. My go to is Poirot but I was intrigued by the Queen of Crime’s stand alone novels of which I’ve never read before. In Baghdad spy rings from both sides of the new world order converge. Least likely traveler turned heroine Victoria Jones finds herself wrapped up in the middle of the spy ring and has to choose which side to trust. Always fun reading the Queen of Crime but I found this departure from her two bread and butter detectives to be a more action, less trite than the ordinary. As I continue to read many of Dame Christie’s cases this summer in between heavier reads I will look forward to the stand-alone cases that might make me think less but are more fun to read.
