But for now, let’s join Agatha Christie, whose archaeological travels to the Middle East inspired her to write 'Murder in Mesopotamia’ and 'They Came to Baghdad’. Have you read them and are you a fan?
Have you read 'The 8.55 to Baghdad’? Travel journalist Andrew Eames was in the ancient Syrian city of Aleppo when he met an elderly lady who had known Agatha Christie.
Fascinated by the exotic history of this quintessentially English crime writer, he decided to retrace Agatha Christie’s trip from London to Baghdad which she made in 1928.
This became a journey which was to change Agatha Christie completely and led to her other life as the wife of an archaeologist in the deserts of Syria and Iraq.
