Murder in Mesopotamia (Hercule Poirot Mysteries #14) 
On the lonely deserts of Mesopotamia(Iraq),in the 30's ,archaeologists are digging to discover the past.But at the present time,fear is in the air.Even as precious artifacts are found, from the 4th millennium .Looking at the site,it's just a pile of mud and dirt walls,very disappointing to the untrained eye.You would have to be an expert, to get excited. But this is after all,where the first civilization began,7,000 years ago(5,300 B.C.).Between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.The Fertile
I loved the absolute crap out of Agatha Christie when I was about 13 and read as many of her books as I could get my hands on. Fast forward twenty (ohgodHOW) years, and I couldn't tell you the plot of any of her books, but I know that Poirot talks a lot about his little grey cells. So there's that. I picked this one up solely because I'm trying to read books set in 80 different countries this year and I'm lagging dramatically behind, and I figured this one would be a quick way to cross Iraq off

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the CompassionateWonderful, absolutely wonderful. Nurse Leatheran, the narrator, is probably a little dull at times, even though it's clear she possesses a delightfully quick intelligence, and that's why Murder in Mesopotamia is not a five-star read for me. But the crime and the solution are absolutely wonderful, full of passions, obsessions, schemes... one of the most surprising and human mysteries I have ever had the pleasure of reading. PS not concerning
One of the more intriguing books I read last year was The Woman on the Orient Express by Lindsay Jayne Ashford. Ashford details a trip taken by Agatha Christie on the famed Orient Express in 1928 when she attempted to escape from a bad marriage. Christie's time in Baghdad and surrounding areas was a positive one, so much so that she used the region as the setting for a few of her crime cases. I decided to make Murder in Mesopotamia featuring Hercule Poirot my first Christie read of this calendar
Your typical Agatha Christie book. The book is quite short and can be completed quickly. I grew up reading Agatha Christie and watching movies based on her books. She doesn't disappoint. I love hearing about the exotic lands that she writes about.Why not a higher rating? The audio. I want an audio where I hear a narrator read a book to me. Perhaps I'm picky. But this was just like listening to a movie with no picture. There were a cast of characters...eh, narrators. They spoke quickly, often
contains possibly one of the best super-short, one-sentence quotes ive ever encountered - Murder is a habit.

Nurse Amy Leatheran was staying in Iraq (which was relatively peaceful at the time for the simple reason that the great fighter for democracy George W. Bush had not been born yet). A local doctor offered her a position to take care of a wife of an archeologist Dr Leidner at a dig site. Before even coming to the place the nurse heard about uneasiness and strained relationship between the members of the party. When she finally came she realized it is even worse as there was sense of impending doomOn the lonely deserts of Mesopotamia(Iraq),in the 30's ,archaeologists are digging to discover the past.But at the present time,fear is in the air.Even as precious artifacts are found, from the 4th millennium .Looking at the site,it's just a pile of mud and dirt walls,very disappointing to the untrained eye.You would have to be an expert, to get excited.
