More About This Book

Overview

Flighty but good-hearted Victoria Jones craves love, intrigue, and adventure. She strikes gold in Edward, a handsome and mysterious traveler whom she's vowed to follow to the ends of the earth. Yet no whirlwind affair can prepare Victoria for what unfolds once she lands in Baghdad. Not a day in Edward's shadow, and she hears whispered warnings of danger and witnesses the murder of a secret agent in her hotel room. And when she discovers that a romantic rival for Edward's affection has arranged for her kidnapping, Victoria fears that her impetuous nature could be the death of her.

Editorial Reviews

Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is the best-selling author of all time. She wrote eighty crime novels and story collections, fourteen plays, and several other books. Her books have sold roughly four billion copies and have been translated into 45 languages. She is the creator of the two most enduring figures in crime literature—Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple—and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre. Christie was born in Torquay, Devon in 1890. She died in 1976 in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

Biography

Agatha Christie is the world's best-known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language, and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 79 novels and a short story collection, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies. Agatha Christie died in 1976.

    Good book worth the read!

    As a huge Christie fan, I was looking forward to the mystery of this novel. While it did not disappoint, in that realm, it was more of an international espionage thriller than a straight laced mystery novel. Christie does a fantastic job of drawing the reader into the story, and keeping one on the edge of their seat until the end.

    Entertaining

    Entertaining, and also provides a glimpse into the Iraq of 60 years ago.

    Didn't see this one coming

    A lot of Agatha Christie's books are light reads because the villian or the plot twists are so easy to guess. I really enjoyed this one because the opposite was true. Though, true to form, it wasn't a truely realistic story, it was quite entertaining and the ending did catch me off guard.

    The Best of the Best

    How this book is not more famous than it is is a MYSTERY to me. The story is one of the early 1950's cold war and a world-wide plot to accelerate the friction between the USA and USSR to a boiling point thus allowing a third power to take over. Not your typical Christie book, but showing her talent as far-reaching beyond her Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple stories.

    Embedded into the political intrigue are stories of romance, a picture of an earlier Iraq including an archaeological dig, and a set of wonderful picturesque, and sometimes even humorous characters.

    Emilia Fox has to be one of the best actresses doing audio books. Each character in the story can be readily identified as she gives each one a unique voice and accent. (Her American accent can only make us laugh at ourselves.) This has to be and is a classic!

    The Best! Why is this book unknown?

    This is the most exciting story with the very best reading by Emilia Fox. The context of the story is the cold war in about 1950, but as possibly outdated as that may seem, the story, the plot, the characters amid the backdrop of an earlier Bagdad is amazingly intriguing. I have listened to this over and over and will continue to do so.

    Best Christie novel ever!

    I read this novel as a teenager and it got me hooked on Agatha Christie and I never forgot the thrill of her ability to take me on a journey of adventure and excitement, so I decided to re-read this novel many years later and it still has the power to transport me to another time and place. My favorite Agatha novel as well as her Miss Marple series.
