Note: I am a fan of Agatha Christie’s  stories. One can get a glimpse of life in Iraq from the experiences of Agatha and her British archaeologist husband, Max Mallowan,  in publications written by both of their time there during the 1930s to 1950s. Some of her mysteries originated from her experiences at various digs across Iraq and Syria.  Think of her sitting in a tent in the desert, banging away on an old typewriter, using her imagination and great skill in plotting an adventure we still enjoy today.
